natural=tree

We should add at least trees with denotation=landmark and denotation=natural_monument, its not too many of them and they deserve an icon I think.

Whether we should add all other trees or not is discussable. The only use I see is they could help in orienteering or as lesser landmarks (e.g. suggest a friend to meet under a particular tree). If we do add them they should be rendered as small green dots probably (similar to e.g. power poles).

Landmarks are a good idea. We displayed trees as dots in early versions of MapsWithMe, but then decided to remove them to reduce data size a bit, and to avoid visual clutter in some parks.

How about only trees with name=* or loc_name=*? I feel like that'd be a decent filter for importance, and people might meet under a named tree, so it'd be good for routing too.

Its a good idea with a name=*. Probably it intersects with denotation= partly.
Current tree stats are:
with name= 57k
with denotatation=landmark/natural_monument 91k

Maybe natural=tree_group (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=tree_group) could also help in orienteering, and of course it would give a more realistic view of a place. For instance, in my city there are some areas which are not parks nor forests, and tree_group is the best tag for these places, but it's not rendered actually. I think it could also be rendered in the same way of landuse=forest.

I understand natural=tree_group is not adopted yet (there is a proposal and ~4k uses do far)...

There is also a natural=tree_row with over 1mil uses, we have it in classificator mapping already, but don't render it - we can try displaying it as a thick green dotted line.
