noisetiers en taillis
I think there may be various ways of saying this, but I believe this is one version that is used, at least informally by the country folk around my way!

I believe that 'taillis de noisetier' translates 'hazel copse (coppice'; by seeking (perhaps wrongly) to express it differently, I was attempting to express thet sense that these are 'hazelnut trees that have been coppiced' — i.e. a special cutting method.

In EN, we more often say 'a beech wood / pine forest', etc. Though we could of course also say 'a forest of mighty oaks'.
This is one of those places in EN where a singular can act as a plural: 'one sheep / two sheep' — no-one but a beginner learner would say 'two sheeps'!

In fact, digging a little furter, i've found that the verb 'to coppice' is 'receper', and I found a handful of references to 'noisetier recepé', e.g.

Dépérissement complet de la souche. Noisetier recepé après une année de stabilisation. Souche encore vigoureuse avec de nombreux rejets. Y.Bourguignon.
So perhaps 'noisetiers recepés' is the better term to use here.

têtard de noisetier
http://terrain.revues.org/2998
Dans le bocage nantais, l'opération dite d'« émondage » désigne en réalité un étêtage, c'est-à-dire la taille complète des branches d'un arbre, de façon à n'en plus laisser que le fût. Ces arbres nommés têtards, mais plus souvent « émondes » et parfois « tocards » dans la région, placés à intervalles réduits, forment les haies de ce paysage caractéristique à l'ouest de la France.
https://www.aujardin.info/fiches/arbre-tetard.php
"L'arbre têtard aussi appelé trogne, halot, ou encore touse est un arbre régulièrement taillé à la même hauteur. Ce traitement sur des décennies occasionne l'apparition de nombreuses cicatrices en forme de bourrelets tourmentés caractéristiques."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppicing
"Coppicing is a traditional method of woodland management which exploits the capacity of many species of trees to put out new shoots from their stump or roots if cut down. In a coppiced wood, which is called a copse, young tree stems are repeatedly cut down to near ground level, known as a stool."

: I think that's really 'pollarding', often done with willows, see yr 1st ref. Yr 3rd ref. correctly describes 'taillis': cutting near root. And note that here, 'hazel' is a collective plural for 'hazel trees', so we'd end up with 'têtards de noisetiers'.

I saw pics on the web showing both what looked like coppicing and pollarding, but they had in common the purpose of obtaining wood without felling the tree. Agree about the plural.
