greenless

Lacking any foliage

Greenless means lacking green—without vegetation, greenery, or the color itself.

A greenless landscape might be desert or concrete, devoid of plants: The greenless urban block offered no shade.

The word is rare, formed straightforwardly from green plus the suffix -less.
