Hi Penegal, take a look here, practical a large plantation of willows or osier, https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/51.7655/4.7609 Those osier fields are also used to make mattresses to cover the river bottom before adding stones to build dikes and embankments. Consider natural=wetland with landuse=farmland / forest, crop=osier, like Andy said. And no it’s not in OSM Wiki. But Wikipedia has some words for that kind of fields as willow scrub. I tend to natural=scrub, but scrub or wetland dont match with natural together. answered 13 Nov '15, 21:57  Hendrikklaas |
Hello,
I hope that helps. answered 14 Nov '15, 22:09  Longhorn256 3 Don't use natural=wood and landuse=forest on the same element. They mean two different things. A willow plantation is definitely landuse=forest. Also in my opinion managed=yes is already implicitly contained in the definition of landuse=forest.

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Forest for details. (15 Nov '15, 13:06) SomeoneElse ♦ |
They are called Osier Beds. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavenham_Osier_Beds
