what's this called?
 

The row of trees that line a long drive. Think Tuscany with cypress
trees. I read maybe it's "paree" with an accent on one of those e's,
but that doesn't sound too Italian. French invention?

An allée.

Amazing allée of baobab trees:

If the trees are along only one side of the drive, it would be a half allée.

Thanks (again) Pat. To satisfy the wife, we have an all=E9e of hostas!
Does that count? ;-)

If they aren't tall enough to shade your pathway... no.
An allee for gnomes and fairies... maybe.

I'm unhappy to report that I now have a half gnome all=E9e after my
friend backed over a whole row of the hostas after coming home from
last night's Cubs game. :o
