Hey there What is the best way to tag meadow orchards?
Most orchards are plantations with monocultures of one kind of tree, usually planted in rows and pruned to have a short trunk for easier picking. There is another type of orchard, in German "Streuobstwiese", in English I think "meadow orchard" or "meadow with fruit trees". This orchard has many different types of fruit trees scattered all over the meadow. The trees are usually not pruned. The meadow serves multiple purposes: As a meadow and as an orchard. (Nowadays) meadow orchards are less common, because they are less accessible to machines for hay harvest and less convenient to harvest the fruit. Show the meadow orchard be a) an own tag, like landuse=meadow_orchard? b) a subtag of landuse=orchard? Maybe orchard=meadow/plantation? c) or should the "meadow orchard" be a landuse=meadow with every single fruit tree added separately? (Well, I suppose it could in any case, but that's quite a micromapping solution) What do you think?
