Rather than give individual instructions to everyone OSM has a wiki that individuals should refer to for information.
For single trees natural=tree For a row of trees natural=tree_row For a group of trees natural=wood
If you want to get specific then species=* the latin species name and species=* are the tags to use.

To add to Warin61’s comment:
There are some iPhone apps you can use to add data while you are “in the field”. I do not have an iPhone myself, but I heard good comments for the following apps:
More apps for iOS can also be found on the wiki

I’d recommend Go Map!! as I have been using it for 5 years already. The app works smoothly with iPhones and is very easy to use.
To tag single trees, use natural=tree. But if there are too many trees in the group, use natural=wood for the area instead. If, somehow the trees are planted in a plantation and managed by an established enterprise, make sure you tag it with landuse=forest. For fruit orchards (i.e. mango, coconuts, oranges), use landuse=orchard, followed by trees=[name of fruits]
