Glen, thank you for sharing your experience!

Yes, we did spend sime time already figuring out the proper tags and were
wondering if we should continue with refining details (pointless if the
features would not be imported).

I am familiar with produce/trees/crop/species sub tags and we do plan to
preserve this info where present (olive trees, hop garden, vine plant
nursery...). The unresolved issue is that source contains 2 types of
orchards:
- id=1222: domestic, garden-like, non-dense, with few older, not purposely
planted, but casually taken care-of various fruit trees around houses and
- id=1221: intensively cared for, larger areas of young, regularly pruned
trees of same species planted in rows after rows. Includes fruit, berries
and nuts
I was conidering landuse=plantation for the later one, but that tag is not
widely used, nor documented well. Is there an established alternative?

Then there is a third somwhat similar area:
- id=1240: "other permanently planted areas" which might contain either dog
rose bushes, elder trees, rowan trees, older non-intensive vines and similar

Photo examples are available in
http://rkg.gov.si/GERK/documents/RABA_IntKljuc_20131009.pdf (search for the
id number)

We did not dig into the various wetland areas yet (id 1321, 4100, 4210 and
4220).

Any expert opinions on those areas?

Thanks,
Štefan
