French term or phrase: verger à bois
From a document on afforestation scenarios.

1. un suivi « intensif » régulier comprenant:
- au moins un passage par an pendant au moins 15 ans,
- souvent plusieurs passages pendant les 3 à 5 premières années.
ce type de suivi d’un profil « arboriculteur » correspond à un scénario « verger à bois ».

2. un suivi « intermédiaire » comprenant:
- un ou plusieurs passages par an pendant les 3 à 5 premières années,
- puis trois à six passages espacés de 2 à 3 ans.
ce type de suivi d’un « sylviculteur interventionniste » correspond à un scénario « plantation forestière assistée ».

It doesn't sound anything like an orchard to me. I've heard it in terms of the production of herbaceous plants and timber simultaneously, but can't think of the term in English.
