palm grove

Cluster of fronds

A palm grove is a stand of palm trees, whether naturally occurring or cultivated.

The term often evokes tropical or Mediterranean landscapes where palms grow in clusters: We walked through the palm grove to reach the beach.

Date palms and coconut palms are commonly grown in groves for their fruit.
