Just in case you are serious too, desert island refers to a place of litte or no habitation (thus the word 'deserted').
And of course trees grow in the desert, The Joshua tree being the most famous example.
All I need on my desert island (apart from the supposed DVD player and sound system) is a few rocks that I can carve into useful tools and then I can begin my boat building exercise.
Ellen should be a good help there too, even if she is as dry as a camel's leg.

yeah yeah yeah. Ok well I checked the wikipedia page for desert island, and it seems you are right. But the word is desert. A desert is a place without water and without water there are no trees. If you were to use the word desert and island together, then it can only mean a command to leave the place. This is an outrage. I'm gonna write a letter to the dictionary people.![]()
Movie Godfather or Godfather 2 or Apocalypse Now.

Woman my girlfriend. Actually my girlfriend should count as free if you expect me to go and live on a desert island so I should get to pick another woman to go with her. That Abbey girl. Peter Crouch's girlfriend.
Exactly man.
'Desert' can refer to a place with little to almost no vegetation. This kind of desert has a very small amount of rainfall (not particularly none) each year, but many types of flora, including trees, have adapted to the barren conditions.
'Desert' can also refer to an area that is lacking in something of any kind: The place was an artistic desert.
^^^ This is the term that is referred to in the phrase 'Desert Island,' due to the lack of habitation.

Oh I understand the intent of the word just fine, I was just wasting time quibbling on something trivial, that happens quite a bit here on Saddo's. I guess it depoends what you mean by desert. A true desert, such as the Sahara, or the Gobi. You're not gonna find many boat making materials. I'll just add that the definition of desert, in the context of desert Island, seems to be about something different, which is being deserted, so I concede the original point to you.![]()
