Hi GN Tree species or other detailed data are somewhat a niche bit of information for what started off as road mapping software. Hence the standard renderer does not show it, as it also does not show a lot of the other info added, for instance population of towns, et.c. A specialised renderer would need to be created to display such data. Maybe this can be done using a stylesheet with some of the existing render software.
For editing purposes, as you can see at http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Styles there is a stylesheet for JOSM that will display the spread of the tree, and I imagine it can also be modified to show the name, species or other information. (It might be of interest to read this contribution by the writer of that stylesheet - https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/AndrewBuck/diary/17551) I'm not sure what you mean by type? There is no tag shown under this name at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dtree . Trees would ideally be shown by their botanic name (genus and species, or taxon), at least the genus part of it. And these should be botanically correct, e.g. genus=Cocos. If it is not known, then the 'name' tag could be used with a common name, e.g. name=coconut.
