The English word 'plantation' is used in a number of distinct ways with their specific tags. It should not be used for these:
landuse=*
landuse=plant_nursery
- plant nurserys, used to grow young seedlings for planting elsewhere; uselanduse=orchard
- plantings of trees and shrubs for fruit or food production; This includes tropical plantations such as coffee, tea, oil palms, bananas, and other tropical fruits.landuse=forest
- plantings of trees for timber production or for naturalising. Theplantation=yes
can be added to forests which have obviously been planted to distinguish them from those where logging is selective and tree regeneration is random.landuse=forest
- plantings of non-tree crops (typically based on historic use of the word 'plantation'), such as for sugar cane, tobacco, cotton. These crops are not permanent or perenials, but are annual crops
