Removed:

The use of the word implies human creation or intervention.

A Sequoia grove (cited as an example) is natural, and not a human creation

For cultivation, spacing and layout are important, and vary according to which species of tree is planted. Grove layout must

• enable the planned number of tree to obtain the maximum exposure to sunlight during all stages of growth
• allow for the efficient operation of harvesting equipment

Spacing and layout are important in tree cultivation whatever the situation; they don't make, or not make, it a grove, and are completely irrelevant to whether the term 'grove' is used or not.

[edit] Mini Forest?

Could a grove possibly be described in a simple way as a 'Miniature Forest?' Or would that be innacurate.
