I believe many of your concerns can be addressed here: <a href="https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/osm-tree-automation-worldwide/102197/50">OSM Tree Automation Worldwide - Help and support - OpenStreetMap Community Forum</a>. No trees have been added to OSM yet. The user will be able to see their tree point on an imagery basemap. Then can adjust the point/location of the tree if it is not where it should be on the basemap if needed.

<br>
from your answers I gather that you're approaching this with a certain <br>
amount of youthful enthusiasm that could lead to problems. It is good <br>
that you're discussing your plans so we can iron them out before you <br>
actually do anything.<br>

You will have to make sure that the tree to be added is not already in OSM.<br>
<br>
I do not think that the GPS position alone is good enough to add a tree; <br>
it is very likely that if you do that, you will add trees in buildings <br>
and in the middle of roads. I think that it will be necessary for the <br>
user, when they take the photo of the tree, to also manually move a <br>
marker on the map to the correct location.<br>
<br>
Doing this, if the map is OSM, will put your location data under ODbL.<br>

<br>
Are species and genus user-specified or will you be trying to determine <br>
those automatically from the photo? If the latter, I would advise against.<br>
<br>
How do you intend to upload the "image of tree" to OSM?<br>
<br>
