It's just a stand of trees. I know groves of aspen with plenty of understory, and I know groves of pines with no understory at all. If you are looking for an opening in the canopy, then you're talking about a glade not a grove. | |

| Jun 6, 2022 at 21:13 | comment | added | aparente001 | Brown? Anyway, I'd use the same words you did in your question, to make sure the reader understands what you're trying to say. I think that "grove" might not be taken to mean wooded area without understory. / Maybe "parklike" would get the idea across, though. | |

| Jun 6, 2022 at 16:27 | comment | added | Jim | I think of “deep” forest as having no understory. | |
| Jun 6, 2022 at 13:23 | comment | added | Anton | @KateBunting agreed. I merely add beech for completeness. | |
| Jun 6, 2022 at 13:20 | comment | added | Kate Bunting | @Anton - I meant that it depends on the type of woodland rather than being a distinct area in a forest. | |
| Jun 6, 2022 at 13:04 | comment | added | Anton | @KateBunting … and beech woods, which suppress almost everything underneath. But this thought is secondary to the main question. | |
