Taginfo is your friend to find out what tags are most commonly used. It tells you on https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=orchard#combinations landuse=orchard + trees=*: 82k cases landuse=orchard + crop=*: 4.9k cases landuse=orchard + produce=*: 2.9 cases and you can also see that genus=* and species=* are much more common than crop=* or produce=*. If you look at: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/crop#values You can see that this tag is most commonly used for farmland. If you look down the list you can also spot 945 cases of crop=bananas,_papapyas,_mangos https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/crop=bananas%2C_papapyas%2C_mangos which - if you follow the link to overpass turbo - turn out to all be on an island in Nicaragua in combination with landuse=orchard. Safe to say that trees=* is the dominating method to tag what is grown in an orchard. Note the wiki is currently fairly unclear about the separation between landuse=orchard and landuse=farmland. On https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Alanduse%3Dorchard it suggests landuse=plantation for fruit bushes which links to landuse=plant_nursery which is clearly unsuited for this purpose. This seriously needs clarification. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
