heathy
Covered with shrubs
Heathy describes land that resembles or is covered with heath—the low-growing shrubs like heather and gorse that thrive on open, uncultivated ground: the heathy moors of northern England.
The word is uncommon, appearing mostly in British nature writing and descriptions of wild landscapes.
