leaf_type=* describes the type of leaves, for instance broadleaved or needleleaved.
This key is used as refinement for woody vegetation, such as woodlands, trees or shrubs.
How to map
Draw an area 
around the grounds of the the woodland or place a node 
at the centre of the grounds.
Add one of the following objects:
- landuse=forest - forest
- natural=wood - natural woodland.
- natural=scrub - Uncultivated land covered with bushes or stunted trees.
- natural=tree - Single tree, often significant.
- natural=tree_row - Line of trees.
- barrier=hedge - Line of closely spaced shrubs.
- landuse=orchard - Plantation of trees or shrubs maintained for food production.
This tag does not apply on boundary=forest or boundary=forest_compartment entities, only on underlying natural=wood/landuse=forest entities.
