Reading various tagging-talk lists, it seems a pity that the result of those contributions isn't automatically placed somewhere where it can be indexed and found through say Google and similar. This is my offering in this respect.


Blackberry and other fruit bearing scrubs 'in the wild'

along the edge of a field or a way, and which you're actually legally free to pick and take (Note: in some jurisdictions one may only take fruit when that specific tree or bush is marked "Für Freie Ernte" - the landowner may instead prefer the fuit to be available for animals in the wild) :

  • add tag Natural=Scrub + Genus=Rubus or preferred: Species= or Taxon=Rubus subgenus rubus
  • to a node or an area where the plants grow, as natural propagation and plant's lifecycle affect the precise extent over time (source : talk-de, 2019-08-27)
  • From the OSM wiki : key Genus is a lower-level taxonomic rank: the first part of the Latin or scientific name, use the more specific key Species (if known).

Ruins (building ruins)

once the roof is gone (although perhaps some timbers remain in place) : prefix 'building' with one of the lifecycle tags : 'demolished:' , 'ruined:' , or at the very least 'was:'
