pine woods

Evergreen tree stand

Pine woods are forests or groves dominated by pine trees.

The term often evokes the distinctive character of such areas—the carpet of needles, the scent of resin, the filtered light through evergreen canopy: We walked through the pine woods behind the cabin.

In the American South, pine woods commonly refers to stands of longleaf or loblolly pine.
