thinnings
Pulled excess plants
Thinnings are plants, seedlings, or young trees removed during thinning—the process of reducing density to give remaining plants more room to grow.
A gardener thins carrot seedlings; the pulled ones are thinnings.
In forestry, thinnings are the smaller trees cut to improve spacing: The thinnings were sold for pulpwood.
