uprooted trees
Storm-felled forest giants
Trees that have been pulled or torn from the ground, roots and all, typically by storms, flooding, or deliberate removal.
The phrase appears in descriptions of natural disasters and land clearing: Uprooted trees blocked the highway after the tornado.
An uprooted tree lies on its side with its root system exposed.
