There is an app called Urban Trees (https://urbantrees.app/) based on open data of several cities. With the app you get an AR view of the trees around you, with their labels etc.

They currently have data from Barcelona, Bristol, Clark County, Edmonton, Frankfurt, Las Vegas, London, Melbourne, New York, Paris, Portland, Rostock, San Francisco, Santa Monica, Seattle, Vancouver, Washington DC, Vienna and Zurich.

Is the data sourced from or published to OpenStreetMap? I note OSM does have ways to add individual trees:

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.

Alas, iOS only!

seems a strange place to start. But indeed it does appear to not have an Android version.
