That's my opinion too.

Thanks Paul, Markus, that's what I mean.

In a related discussion I have heard the argument that, after mapping the individual trees, "if we delete the tree_row way, we lose the information that they are part of a tree row."

The problem with that argument is that a tree_row only exists as an abstraction/simplification/interpolation of a number of not-yet-mapped trees.

Thus it is more comparable to the addr:interpolation which we use before all addr:housenumber are mapped individually. Once we have achieved that, the interpolation line becomes obsolete.

So, once the trees are mapped individually, we have all the information we need. The tree_row is then unverifiable, as there is no definition where it begins and where it ends. As said before, I could call any two trees a "row", e.g. each pair of trees on the opposite sides of the road. Or, I could say I need a new row once a tree is missing in some equidistant spacing, or I could ignore missing trees.
