jungle-like

Thick with vegetation

Jungle-like describes something resembling a jungle—dense, tangled, overgrown, or wild.

A jungle-like garden has vegetation so thick you can barely pass through.

The term can describe atmospheres too: The greenhouse had a jungle-like humidity.

Sometimes used figuratively for chaotic environments: the jungle-like competition of Wall Street.
