For example Pinus Mungo growing in high mountains is typically considered as bushes and tagged as natural=scrub as it looks like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_mugo#/media/File:Custura_Bucurei.jpg But plants from the same species may also grow as trees, see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pinus_mugo_uncinata_trees.jpg From what I see trees are defined rather by structure or function rather than by species (though, as it is typical "there is no universally recognised precise definition of what a tree is, either botanically or in common language."*) * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree#Definition _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
