scrub oak and the guarigue

Explanation:
I live in this area of Southern France where the heath is called "la guarigue" and is quite different (obviously) from the heath/moorland one finds in the UK and therefore more difficult to translate the actual meaning. Is this one of those cases where an actual translation would not work and you would be better considering leaving it in French? for chene vert, what about scrub oak?
