tree farms
Cultivated lumber sources
Tree farms are plantations where trees are grown as a crop, typically for timber, pulp, or Christmas trees.
Unlike natural forests, tree farms are planted in rows, harvested on rotation, and replanted.
The term sometimes carries environmental criticism—monoculture tree farms lack the biodiversity of natural woodlands: That's not a forest, it's a tree farm.
