Why would that be?
uhhh just in case you are serious. It's because there are no trees in the desert.
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.
