this is a great resource! I visited Granada, Spain recently and learned from a guide how a particular type of tree is planted along Gran Via specifically to absorb radiation and pollution off the streets. I cannot recall the name for the type of tree. I sure hope Urban Trees can expand to include more and more cities so that we can learn more about the plants in cities across the world and some of the interesting perspective on urban planning!

  "Absorbing radiation and pollution" is magical, fact-free thinking. If you want to learn botany, there's Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3CBOpT2-NRvoc2ecFMDCsA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3CBOpT2-NRvoc2ecFMDCsA

Is the data sourced from or published to OpenStreetMap? I note OSM does have ways to add individual trees: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tree https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tree
