Perhaps in some future version OSM will support a new object type, 'table of
random whatever'.  Then rows could be added for each species of tree, and
individual trees could refer to a row of the table.  This gets more into the
realm of tagging all possible facts about the world, rather than just making a
map of what's on the ground, but OSM has already gone some way in that 
direction.

In the meantime, duplicating the information on each object is probably the most
convenient way for users.
