grove
Small tree stand
A grove is a small group of trees, often of the same kind, standing together without dense underbrush: an olive grove, a grove of aspens.
Groves suggest orderliness or cultivation more than wild forest—orchards are groves, as are deliberate plantings in parks or on estates.
The word carries a slightly poetic or pastoral quality.
