I came across some mis-tagged orchards in Japan, and in the process of
researching how to tag them correctly, I noticed some discrepancies in the EN
and JA wiki pages for orchards, trees, and related things. the JA page for
orchard includes the trees= definitions, for example.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dorchard
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse=orchard> English
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JA:Tag:landuse%3Dorchard
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JA:Tag:landuse=orchard> Japanese
My question to the group is how to deal with trees=* when it seems to be very
generic (apple tree, pear tree, etc) and more specific kinds of crops (fuji
apples, asian pears).
crop=* for orchard was changed to trees=* - but how do we get more specific on
what kind of fruit is grown? do we make a ton of different tree=* tags, or do
we make generics and then specify the exact fruit produced through produce=* or
some other tag?
Also, someone has added a ton of trees to the JA list (and a few to the EN
list), including cranberries - which are grown in a swampy bog - hardly an
orchard. Should be at least in farmland+crop, possibly some form of wetlands. I
cleaned up the entries on the ja page by added “trees” to the items, and
striking out sugarcane and cranberry, but I didn’t delete any other entries. I
didn’t touch the EN page.
I can clean up the JA page to match the EN page, but I need to know how do deal
with the trees and what they produce: are the trees=* a very specific type of
tree, or are they general - and how do we specify the exact type of fruit
produced? apples, oranges, pears, peaches, have regional varieties - and
custard apples and asian pears (sand pears) may be considered so different from
their normal varieties as to warrant their own tree and rendering.
If I’m reading the english wiki pages for orchard=, trees= and produce=
correctly, keeping the trees generic and the specific fruit in produce= seems
to be right way. I added one example to the JA wiki page for asian pears:
landuse=orchard
trees=pear_trees
produce=sand_pear
so fuji apples would be
landuse=orchard
trees=apple_trees
produce=fuji_apples
Is this the right way to handle it, and should it be documented this way?
