i'm currently doing the boundaries for the Pine Hollow Arboretum south
of Albany NY.

none of the current landuse/natural tags seem quite appropriate. landuse=forest and natural= wood are closest, but i'd hesitate to use either without a subtype tag indicating that it's specifically an arboretum (denoting a site where trees in
a natural setting, not necessarily local to the site, may be viewed.)

an arboretum sort of sits in the middle between the two classifications,
it's managed in a limited way in that there are intentional plantings of
interesting trees, but the management is limited in that dead trees
may not be cleared, etc.

i'm using landuse=forest for now, but would like to invite discussion
of which main tag is really appropriate and what subtype tag might be used.
