Like everything else on this list, these are just my opinions and I'm sure others will have a different take. Here is what I would do.
A new key should go through the same proposal process. Since your focus is on defining trees that would be in a nursery, you could create a Plant proposal that had the detail you want in trees but leave placeholders for everything else: herbs, grasses, vines, etc. I can't imagine anyone would expect you to fully define the entire kingdom Plantae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant). As others have the need to refer to other plants, they can add to it. I went through a similar process when I wanted to define a Homeless Shelter. It made sense to work with another user on his definition of "social_facility", of which homeless shelter was a subtype. I haven't got around to cleaning up Homeless Shelter though...
