If you want individual trees, it's difficult/useless to do because
natural=tree
is not commonly used in general (~30000000 usages out of an estimated ~3000000000000 trees)genus
,species
/species:wikidata
,taxon
) but they are rarely used (only ~4M usages total out of ~30M trees mapped)If you're looking for groups of fruit trees planted by humans, that's
landuse=orchard
, and while there are only ~1.6M uses of that, it groups a lot of trees together so might be more useful for you. You can search for orchards in OsmAnd (which is way more versatile anyway, if your hardware can run it I definitely recommend it over OrganicMaps) - just type in "Orchard" into the search bar.If you're looking for orchards of a specific tree, there's the
trees
by which you can filter. But you'll once again need Overpass. For example, here are all the mapped apple orchards in the same random bit of Italy: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/269q (once again, there are probably way more but most are not mapped yet).N.B: I've just realised that monospace links are not well-highlighted on Lemmy, so FYI all the tags/keys above are links that you can click to learn more
Yes, I meant individual trees such as cherries growing in a city. I was surprised that projects to map these exist but they all seem to use G***** maps as a base and maintain their own database on top. Adding the trees in once you know the latin name is simple enough with SC, but actually using this data to find edible fruits doesn't seem very easy at the moment, and I just figured this would already exist.
