Please add the California Palm

Please add the California palm. It's such an iconic palm in the Southwestern US and you see it in a lot of zoos here like the Phoenix Zoo, Wildlife World Zoo, and San Diego Zoo just to name a few.

Washingtonia filifera, also known as desert fan palm, California fan palm, or California palm, is a flowering plant in the palm family native to the far southwestern United States and Baja California. Growing to 15–20 m tall by 3–6 m broad, it is an evergreen monocot with a tree-like growth habit.

Planet Zoo lacks many many different palm trees.

California, Kentya, Mediterranean, sagopalm... just to name a few.
 
Could be a good plant to add in a Desert pack, even though North America already got a descent amount of desert foliage compared to the other continents. But of course we can always use more, we just need some animals for this biome too. I am starting to feel like a desert theme could be interesting to see this year.
