[OSM-talk] How to tag giant acorn?

[Mike Collinson]

Bit late but punch "Big Banana" into the slippy map name finder.  I saw Big
Banana on a map in the early '80s and just had to drive there to see what
was. Well, it was just that. Awe inspiring as bananas go but no explanatory
sign, nothing else. Now it is a developed tourist facility.

Thank you for all the replies.

For the acorn, I think tourism=attraction is appropriate, and in this
case, it's apparently also a historic landmark (historic=yes).  The
acorn has been around since the 1850s, which is around the time that
the town was established.

The description tag is also very useful.
