Welcome to (hopefully) the list to end all plant lists. I really appreciate seeing plants get added every update (paid and free) as it is just as exciting imo. I wanted to compose a list of plants that I would love to see in game with a focus on not represented or underrepresented taxa or regions. 200+ plants later, we have the mega-list below. I included some rationale to each section, but my approach to making it was to enable players to have a big “toolbox” to enable making naturalistic or “wild” zoo grounds to enable realistic zoo horticulture/design or landscape architecture.
Realistically-sized Shade and Understory Trees:
There are a lot of "old-growth" sized trees in the game, like trees that must be hundreds of years old. I'd like to see more common landscape trees that are of "mature" size, like around 25-40 feet in height. There have been a lot of good additions lately, but here are some others.
Jacaranda - Jacaranda mimosifolia: Tropical/Grassland, Central/South America
Chinese Flame Tree - Koelreuteria bipinnata: Temperate, Asia
Royal Poinciana - Deolonix regia, Tropical, Asia
Silk Floss Tree - Ceiba speciosa, Tropical,
African Coral Tree - Erythrina caffra: Grassland, Africa
African Tulip Tree - Spathodea compnea: Tropical, Africa
Hong Kong Orchid - Bauhinia x Blake: Tropical, Asia
Southern Magnolia - Magnolia grandiflora: Temperate, North America
Gingko Tree - Ginkgo biloba: Temperate, Asia
Tipu - Tipuana tipu: Grassland, South America
Camphor Tree - Cinnamona camphora: Tropical/Temperate, Asia
Ylang Ylang - Canandaigua odorata: Tropical, Asia/Oceania

Sassafras - Sassafras albidum: Temperate/Taiga, North America
Eastern Redbud - Cercis canadensis: Temperate/Taiga, North America
Dawn Redwood - Metasequoia glyptostroboides: Temperate/Taiga, North America
Persian Silk Tree - Albizia julibrissin: Desert/Grassland/Temperate/Tropical
African Fern Pine - Afrocarpus gracilior: Temperate/Grassland/Taiga, Africa
Palm Trees:
There's a lot of diversity of Palms and that's not quite reflected in the game yet especially in the diversity of leaf shape, size, and color. Palms really add to the exotic and "wild" look of zoos even across colder temperate zones.
Bismarck Palm - Bismarckia nobilis: Desert/Grassland, Africa
Mexican Fan Palm - Washingtonia robusta: Desert, North America/Central/South America
Giant Fishtail Palm - Caryota gigas: Tropical/Grassland, Asia

Lady Palm - Rhapis excelsa: Tropical, Asia
Chinese Windmill Palm - Trachycarpus fortunei: Temperate/Tropical, Asia
European Fan Palm - Chamaerops humilis: Desert/Grassland/Temperate, Europe/Africa
Fruit Trees:
Maybe not a necessity, but it would be nice to be able to make some orchards for browse programs. Considerations were primarily ornamental and wildlife value and not so much humanistic.
Persimmon - Diospyros virginiana: Temperate, North America
Loquat - Eriobotrya japonica: Temperate/Tropical, Asia
Mango - Mangifera indica: Tropical/Grassland, Asia
Pomegranate - Punica granatum: Grassland/Desert/Temperate, Europe/Asia/Africa
Sapote Tree - Pouteria lucuma: Tropical/Temperate, Central/South America
Avocado - Persea americana: Tropical/Grassland, Central/South America, North America
Durian - Durio zibethinus: Tropical, Asia/Oceania
Papaya - Carica papaya: Tropical, Central/South America/Africa/Asia
Grasses and Grass-like plants:
The use of ornamental grasses in gardens was pioneered by zoos, so we need more in game. Similar to trees, we need more "people-scale" grasses as the ones in game are either very small weedy ones or taller than people (reeds and elephant grass). Grasses also are present across all biomes.
Slender Veldt Grass - Pennisetum spathiolatum: Grassland, Africa
Foxtail Grass - Pennisetum alopecuroides: Temperate/Tropical/Grassland, Asia/Africa/Oceania
Chinese Fountain Grass - Miscanthus sinensis: Temperate/Grassland/Tropical, Asia

Lemon Grass - Cymbopogon citratus: Tropical/Grassland, Asia/Oceania/Africa/Central/South America
Autumn Moor Grass - Sesleria autumnalis: Temperate/Grassland, Europe
Palm Grass - Setaria palmifolia: Tropical/Temperate, Asia/Oceania
Japanese Sedge - Carex morrowii: Temperate/Taiga, Asia
Sweet Flag - Acorus gramineus: Temperate/Aquatic/Tropical
Bulrush - Schoenoplectus acutus: Aquatic/Temperate, Europe/North America/Asia
Tropical Understory Plants:
The temperate game is strong, but the tropical is lacking. With exceptions to a couple of dlcs, most of the additions have been temperate, and most of the base game tropical plants aren't as realistic or good for massing like the Elephant Ears and Swiss Cheese plant Monstera. Ferns and Aroids are a must. Also, please no non-naturally occurring variegated forms.
Red button Ginger - Costus woodsonii: Tropical, Central/South America
Shell Ginger - Alpinia zerumbet: Tropical, Asia

Lace Fern - Microlepia strigosa: Tropical, Asia/North America
Rough Horsetail - Equisetum hyemale: Temperate/Aquatic, North America/Asia/Europe
Cycads:
There are none in game yet and cycads are awesome. Here's three from each major continent.
Sago Palm - Cycas revoluta: Temperate/Tropical, Asia
Cape Cycad - Encephalartos ferox: Grassland/Tropical, Africa
Giant Dioon - Dioon spinulosum: Tropical, Central/South America
Fig Trees:
We have the strangler fig, but it would be nice to get a couple more from other parts of the world as they are an ecological staple. Some of these are big specimen trees or than can be smaller canopy or accent trees.
Banyan Tree - Ficus benghalensis: Tropical, Asia
Rusty-leaf Fig - Ficus rubiginosa: Tropical, Oceania
Sacred Fig - Ficus religiosa: Grassland/Tropical, Asia
Kopje Fig - Ficus natalensis: Grassland, Africa
Fiddle-leaf Fig - Ficus lyrata: Tropical, Africa
Rubber fig - Ficus elastica: Tropical, Asia
Cacti and Succulents (& other desert plants):
There's a good foundation from the base game and Africa Pack, but we're missing a few iconic ones from other continents or ecoregions. Madagascar spiny forests also deserve representation.
Ocotillo - Fouquieria splendens: Desert, North America/Central/South America
Foxtail Agave - Agave attenuata: Desert/Grassland/Temperate, Central/South America

Pearl Bluebush - Maireana sedifolia: Desert/Grassland Oceania
Southern Grass Tree - Xanthorrhoea australis: Desert/Grassland, Oceania
Other Shrubs:
Temperate is pretty well represented, but here are some shrubs that would help add something different in taxa, texture, or color. For example, there are no coniferous shrubs or groundcovers. I also added a few other random shrubs from other zones.
Dwarf Rhododendron - Rhododendron anthopogon: Temperate/Taiga, Asia
Dwarf Hiba Cedar - Thujopsis dolabrata 'Nana': Temperate/Taiga, North America

Dwarf Karo - Pittosporum crassifolium 'Compactum': Temperate/Grassland, Oceania
Miscellaneous:
Just to tack on, here are some random things that also improve with making naturalistic environments.
Broken Kapok Tree Trunk base or large tropical tree trunk
Additional climbing branches or deadfall sets
Cholla cactus logs
Tree fern panels
Flexicolor Azalea
Non-flowering & Non-fall color versions of Japanese Maple, Sugar Maple, Cherry Tree, Yellow Ipe Tree, Trembling Aspen, etc.
Flexicolor natural stones - basalt, limestone, granite, sandstone, lava rock, etc.
Well, there it is. You get a gold star if you read this far. If you have any questions, comments, share or don’t share the same opinions, let me know in the comments below, as it was difficult to explain the rationale of every plant when making this list quite the endeavor. Also, I wanted to include links to photos, so if someone wanted to help with that, that’d be great.
