ID Palm Tree

[Snuffy "Hub Cap" McKinney]

This one came up wild. I thought it was a bush until I started trimming. There is a large trunk in the center about 2-3 feet diameter about 4-feet up from the ground, and smaller "trunks" all around it.

Close up of main trunk

Anyone know what it might be?

The main trunk is about 1-ft from a concrete block wall, and the smaller trunk on that side is almost touching it. No choice on the small trunk

- it has to be cut back. But I'm wondering if the large is also too close to the wall and roots could damage it?

Thanks in advance!

This must be the wrong group to ask. Can anyone recommend another forum?

Another question --- now I can't get any of these photos to show up. Maybe that's the reason no one is responding?

So did I but since very few palms grow where I live, I had no idea what they might be.

Well, let's see if any palm lovers have wandered over this way...
