Possibly in your area of the world.
But not in Australia.

My Dictionary says plantation means;
1) a farm or estate, especially in a tropical or sub tropical country, 
on which cotton, tabacco, coffee, sugar or the like is cultivated, 
usually by resident labours.
2) a group of planted trees or plants
[late ME from planting]

Those too include things other than trees, and even with trees they 
don't exclude trees not intended for production of material for human use.
