The wiki page for "Tag:natural=tree:"

    http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dtree

includes:

    taxon=*

and:

    species=*
    genus=*

The latter pair is a subset of the former; and thus redundant.

How should this be resolved?

It's often possible to work out the genus but not the exact species. Many trees that people would describe as horse chestnut are really cross species. Having genus and species separate is helpful. Taxon lets you describe a tree very fully, but only if you know all of the detail. I'd leave all three tags available (well they are available regardless of what the wiki says anyway :-) )
