Had not thought of that.
Some trees produce nuts, others fruit .. they would be landuse=orchard. 
With landcover=trees.

Err.. I think your confusing landUSE with landCOVER.

To me landcover=trees simply means there are trees there. It does not 
say what they are used for.

So suitable tags for an area used for lumber would be
landuse=forestry
landcover=trees

An area of trees for decoration, recreation
landcover=trees
landuse=recreation ?

How are rubber trees tagged now? I would tag
landcover=trees
landuse=orchard ... ? Don't know. Possibly landuse=forestry with the 
definition of trees used to produce products (e.g. wood), excluding 
production of fruit/nuts (see orchard)?

Attempt to make clear what tags to use for a 'forest' ...

For example 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:landuse%3Dforest#Forest_vs_Wood 
suggest the density of the plants is the distinguishing thing between 
natural=wood and landuse=forest.

The implication of landuse=foresty is fairly clear?
And I hope be translated without too much blurring of the intention?
