In Berlin there is "Gieß den Kiez"[1] (water your block). It not only shows you the species and age for every tree on public property, you can also adopt trees and be responsible for watering them.
Gieß den Kiez is a participatory platform where you can inform yourself about the trees in your neighbourhood and their water needs. You can explore individual trees in Berlin and find out about the proper watering of trees. If you want to water the same trees regularly, you should create an account, adopt the trees and show that they are taken care of. This way, coordination takes place in the neighbourhood.
I have checked out my local area on that London tree map, and it appears to be accurate in details.
True story: Summer 2022 in London was unprecedented and brutal. After weeks of heat without rain, it got worse: there was a day that the temperature reached 41C in July, and only a bit cooler on days on either side. 3 young trees on that map are possibly only alive because I noticed how badly they were doing (leaves all shrivelling up and falling off), and applied water daily until the heatwave was over and they started to grow new leaves.
I wonder what would have happened if those trees had died? How and when is the map updated? These treed are cared for (in as much as they are cared for at all) by the borough council. So the tree data is also collected by them?

There's also the Berlin Tree Register[1] mapping which looks like every public tree in the city.
And while we're at it, the city's official Geoportal Berlin[2] is a treasure trove of open geo data.
