Hello! Thank you for your reply. I believe many of your concerns can be addressed here: OSM Tree Automation Worldwide - Help and support - OpenStreetMap Community Forum <https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/osm-tree-automation-worldwide/102197/50>. No trees have been added to OSM yet. The user will be able to see their tree point on an imagery basemap. Then can adjust the point/location of the tree if it is not where it should be on the basemap if needed. As for the genus information, we are using https://identify.plantnet.org/ - to help with the plant identification part. They have a state of the art accuracy of approximately 90% for classifying plants based on plant images alone. We are not sure if we will upload the images yet because the key we wanted to use, Key:image - OpenStreetMap Wiki <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:image>, has rejected proposals. This is something we are debating/willing to add if the community wants. Hope this helps understand the project a little better.
