most everything in the photos looks like hedges to me. no one is going to walk through them or on top of them. 

The picture center-right has an interesting landcover: is that wood chips? natural=scrub? the outside is clearly a hedge. 

reading the images top-to-bottom and left-to-right (like reading):

landcover=grass, with a hedge line and a tree. 

landcover=grass

barrier=hedge, tree points on the opposite side of the street. 

a barrier=hedge around this section of a parking lot island.  **the area inside I don’t think has a tag**

barrier=hedge along the walkway / barrier=hedge with a tree in it. 

building=roof (or however a trellis is tagged) + some trees + barrier hedge between the walkways 

barrier=hedge along the street. points for trees. 

barrier=hedge area along barrier=fence way

natural=scrub 


here is the road I was driving down in tokyo I talked about earlier. everything in the area is hedges to me (with a couple trees thrown in)

most are on areas along barrier=fence ways.

Hedges & ginko trees.  

this is the kind of scenario where I would have difficulty:

The foreground is fallow rice fields - easy. but along the embankment is purposefully planted trees and shrubs (and a hedge!), but it is basically only trimmed back once a year. most of the time it looks like natural=scrub, and grows down into the road below the motorway every summer. I tagged a bunch of this as scrub in the past, but I’m not sure now. 

finding a good definition for this purposefully landscaped area, which is (intermittantly) tended to and includes mixes of trees and bushes and grasses is a good tag. 

perhaps landcover=greenery? I don’t know.
