Still a hedge. [Crocodile Dundee voice] Now THIS is a hedge. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.0882022,-4.6463255,3a,75y,346.74h,95.55t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s_q18XE04pp24t2Rd-jG8-Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 I don't use google for OSM work, but it's occasionally useful to make a point here because you can take a look around. Lining the A487 is part hedge, part fence, all tree. And it's a common feature all around a large part of the countryside. And this is what the same area looks like in iD: https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=17/52.08753/-4.64727 You can see ordinary hedges in the fields immediately to the east as compared with the hedge/fence/ tree rows lining the A487. You can see the crowns of the trees lining the A487. That's how you tell the difference between a tree row and a hedge. > > you may also consider natural =scrub > > Your two examples could be scrub, apart from the fact that scrub can't be applied to linear ways. My examples are tree rows. Not neat, tidy, regularly-spaced tree rows, but rows of trees nonetheless. If I mapped them as a hedge it would be consfusing: "I thought we were here on the map but it shows a hedge and this is a lot of trees." -- Paul
