But they're very common, so i think it's deliberate, possibly as a way of dealing with ground that would otherwise be waterlogged and need a lot of ditches. Or maybe they're all too lazy to trim their hedges. See, for example, some of the hedges/tree rows around here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=16/52.1707/-4.3885 Adding those as individual trees would be a lot of work. Far too much to be sensible. Not that I map hedges and tree rows indiscriminately. I figure a farmer growing crops or raising livestock doesn't need a map to know where the hedges are. But if, as is common around here, the farm has a holiday cottage or two, or if a public footpath goes through a green lane, I'll map hedges that would be useful for tourists to know about. One day, far in the future, when everything else has been mapped, people can add the other hedges. And if they're REALLY bored, they can replace the tree rows with individual trees. -- Paul
