> Tree species or other detailed data are somewhat a niche bit of information for what started off as road mapping software. Hence the standard renderer does not show it, as it also does not show a lot of the other info added, for instance population of towns, et.c. A specialised renderer would need to be created to display such data. Maybe this can be done using a stylesheet with some of the existing render software. <br>

(It might be of interest to read this contribution by the writer of that stylesheet - <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/AndrewBuck/diary/17551">https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/AndrewBuck/diary/17551</a>)<br>

> I'm not sure what you mean by type? There is no tag shown under this name at <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dtree">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dtree</a> . Trees would ideally be shown by their botanic name (genus and species, or taxon), at least the genus part of it. And these should be botanically correct, e.g. genus=Cocos. If it is not known, then the 'name' tag could be used with a common name, e.g. name=coconut. <br>

<p dir="ltr">There is OpenTreeMap (OTM) which is an app that does the same. . I think the data can be ported back to osm. I had set up an OTM instance a while back. I did not check the import to OSM though. </p>
