I believe that "forest" in formal language theory means a SET of trees, rather than a SEQUENCE of trees. I used to use "forest" but Prof. Derick Wood recommended "hedge" (he also suggested "orchard"). "Hedge" was coined by Bruno Coucelle. [Cou89] Bruno Courcelle. On recognizable sets and tree automata. In Maurice Nivat and Hassan Ait-Kaci, editors, Resolution of Equations in Algebraic Structures. Academic Press, 1989. Cheers,
