There are places where there are an amazing mount of Palm trees, and confusing 
them with a broadleaf tree is not great. But is this the main way the species 
(or class or whatever) of tree is defined? it thought there was some species 
tag for this as well - or is it too difficult when mapping to know the type of 
tree beyond it’s leaf?

It would be nice if trees marked get a color or shape at extremely high zoom 
(z19?).  Many park maps in Japan map the trees (yes, individual trees) as to 
what color stereotype it’s blooms are. (soft pink dots for cherry, magenta for 
plum, etc), as people often go looking in the parks for the blooms in spring.
