Can dump use as collective noun of trees?

No, "dump" is not a collective noun for trees.

Here's why:

* Collective nouns refer to a group of people, animals, or things considered as a single unit. Examples include "flock" (birds), "herd" (cattle), and "army" (soldiers).

* "Dump" typically refers to a place where waste is discarded.

While you could use "dump" to refer to a place where trees are disposed of (like a lumberyard), it wouldn't be a collective noun for the trees themselves.

Here are some collective nouns for trees:

* Grove: A small group of trees

* Forest: A large area of trees

* Wood: An area of trees, often for timber

* Stand: A group of trees of the same species

* Arbor: A single tree or a group of trees in a specific location
