Is there a term for a gathering of trees in an open field?

I’ve been searching for a bit and figured I’d ask y’all.

Came here for grove.

One of the surnames on my mom’s side of the family means “grove of trees near a bog” and comes from the same area as my best friend’s surname that means “evil bog goblin”

I like to think that his family was evil bog spirits, and my family were good tree people, and he and I have mended the feud.

This has nothing to do with OP’s question, I just thought of it when grove came up, and thought I’d share.

I think I need to add both of these words to my vocabulary.

I’ve been known to drop a “hobgoblin” into my repertoire on special occasions 💅
