this has been discussed 10 years ago, but I don't recall the results (if
any). I think by the time it was to not introduce a new landuse value like
meadow_orchard

I would keep the question of pruning out of this discussion, it may vary
and is not essential, or is it?

if it should be a subtype of orchard (or meadow), it could be an
"meadow_orchard" there (i.e. orchard=meadow_orchard)

while this would be possible, it wouldn't harm to have a more abstract
representation (i.e. an additional qualifier for the landuse area) ready to
use, regardless of the individual trees being mapped or not.

There's another possibility to make this more generic: secondary_landuse=*
e.g.
landuse=orchard
secondary_landuse=meadow

We've discussed this recently because of an example of a "farmland forest".

Although this would still pose the question which is primary and which is
secondary, in some cases.

Cheers,
