[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - shrubbery

Thu Feb 25 18:39:37 UTC 2021

In my opinion, all three examples given would fit under the new proposed natural tag.

About the first one, I thought with mapping then individually you meant mapping them as point. You are talking about mapping each bush a polygon. it is up to the mapper to decide whether to do such micro mapping but no matter if the they are tagged individually as polygon or all as one, natural=shrubbery would fit here.

About the second one, it has no distinct barrier function like for example a hedge around a building. It is clear this is meant for decorative purposes.

About the third one, I indeed mapped that one as natural=scrub. Technically, it has a barrier function because it forces you to take another route but it is meant purely decorative here to fill the space. Natural=scrub then comes closest but it is of course not a natural, wild feature so it should be tagged with the proposed tag.

Mapping decorative shrubs individually like the ones on the example images in the proposal is not doable. You can not trace the center of most of these bushes like you can with trees.

you could map individual shrubs with a polygon. It might make sense in cases like these where shape matters: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Green_trees_and_shrubs_in_Shinjuku_Gyoen_National_Garden,_Tokyo,_Japan,_a_sunny_day_with_blue_sky.jpg<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.openstreetmap.org%2Fwiki%2FFile%3AGreen_trees_and_shrubs_in_Shinjuku_Gyoen_National_Garden%2C_Tokyo%2C_Japan%2C_a_sunny_day_with_blue_sky.jpg&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cfe13a811888641a36c5708d8d9ba5ec7%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637498741824035185%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=CXecTE06WTj1u73xQqtMHA7TMgrY%2BgF2zRkAgjLvK%2FE%3D&reserved=0>

In this case I believe it would fit under barrier=hedge: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Example_2_landuse_bush.jpg<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.openstreetmap.org%2Fwiki%2FFile%3AExample_2_landuse_bush.jpg&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cfe13a811888641a36c5708d8d9ba5ec7%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637498741824045140%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=F4vKokJLQo3mPfzM9t4VJWlMr7HpFfPK8taDl%2BfdTF8%3D&reserved=0>

Despite what the wiki says, shrubs like these are probably currently mapped with natural=scrub
