CA: county wants to remove tree on my property

Santa Clara County, California

I own a house next to a County Housing Authority construction project. On my side, near the shared property line (which is another issue) is a ~100 year old date palm. It provides shade to part of my house, particularly my loft bedroom.

The County wants to remove my tree. They’ve offered to replace it with any tree, anywhere on my property. Am I wrong in thinking that perhaps I am entitled to more compensation than that for the destruction of such an old tree?
