Is the area
A) used for forestRY - an area that uses trees to produce something?
B) or just an area with trees?

If A then it is correct to have the area tagged landuse=forest. The 
addition of landcover=scrub, once the 'scrub ' grows into trees then 
landcover=trees can be done.
If B then it should be tagged landcover=scrub as the tress are no longer 
there.

For me the landuse=forest (where correct) is enough, I would not tag the 
cycle of the harvesting, planting, growth of the trees. But some want 
that detail.
There are enough blank areas on the map that these time dependant 
details lack any real interest to me.

----------------
Note: renders may not recognise landcover ... so you may have to add 
'natural=scrub' etc even if it is not what you would call natural.
