Wouldn't it be covered by leisure=garden? ie "Place where flowers and other

Its just it specifically focuses on trees, as opposed to flowers or other
plants.
That seems wrong, they aren't for leisure so much as a preserve to
make sure species of trees will survive at least in one place...
arboretums can be for conservation, for education and for research.
wikipedia articles are not always helpful, but the article on arboretums
is pretty decent:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arboretum
perhaps:
landuse=botanical_garden
collection=arboretum|fruticetum|viticetum|pinetum|...
the distinction from leisure=garden would be that botanical_gardens
are more oriented towards scientific/educational usage rather than
leisure.
