Just read this article about Culturally modified trees which also include trees in trees. Yet another thing to look out for. Don’t know if anyone has started a project yet but it probably deserves one.

There is no project for CMTs in Australia.
So I guess I am starting a project…
So, help me out here as I have never started a project like this.
Observation needs to have coordinates even if obscured due to cultural reasons
How can these be subdivided into Scar trees, TInTs, Other?
Observations would need to be added manually by the observer
Trees in trees are trees that may have been planted to commemorate an event and then later another tree/plant is grafted on. Any ideas as to potential observation fields that could be useful?
use tags?
(I would add Australia to your title - since I thought topiary - till I read the linked article)
I believe it is possible to exclude casual observations from inclusion in a project, but this would exclude non-wild observations in addition to excluding observations lacking a location/date/media, which may not be what you want. If you choose the criterion that observations must be in the place Australia, I imagine this would exclude observations that have no coordinates set.
I think there are two options: you could create separate projects and then collect them under an umbrella project, or you could create a mandatory observation field for the project that would require users to specify what type of modification is present. Observation fields are easy to enter but it can be a bit clunky to use them for browsing (they aren’t integrated into filters on the Explore page, for example).
