Let me start this thread by commenting on your amazing work, it is by far one of the best areas of this game, the attention to detail is exceptional. Thank you for your hard work and dedication in creating beautiful foliage for the game.
Diversity in Palm trees is truly currently absent from the game. There are currently a handful of palm tree species in the game, but no where near the number of species we need to create realistic looking parks. When we take into account that Palm trees are often a highly represented group within zoos' landscape design, it is somewhat troubling that we have only received one species (A somewhat odd but beautiful choice) after three DLCs. When two of the DLCs were based on South America and Australia it is extremely worrisome, since those were missed golden opportunities to include them. Zoos in tropical and sub tropical climates would benefit incredibly from added palm tree species, it is a must. Zoos in temperate climates that recreate lush tropical settings in doors, NEED PALM TREES AS WELL. We often see players designing indoor zoo exhibits (tropical domes, etc) and planting adult size tropical trees inside of them, when in real life, you would more than likely see a large collection of palm trees, ferns etc. It makes the designs look completely off base, and the players do not have a viable choice to make them look realistic. Please add more palm tree species to the game.
The Washingtonia robusta would be amazing to have with a North American DLC, it would add character to any zoo, and we currently do not have any truly tall palm species in the game, just coconut palms.
African palm tree species would be ideal as well, since the game currently has a large and beautiful representation of animals from this continent, but lacks tremendously on foliage diversity from this region, especially palms.
