I think the word you're looking for is "coppice".

A year or two ago I ran across a process of harvesting certain kinds of
trees for their wood then letting them grow back from the stump and
harvesting them again some years later. Evidently, this process continues
in rotation endlessly and has been practiced for centuries. I recall
reading that some of the stumps were many feet in diameter from repeated
harvesting. I just can't seem to remember the word for it!

Anyone here know what it's called?

Thanks
