ID Palm Tree

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

"Snuffy "Hub Cap" McKinney" wrote in message news: snipped-for-privacy@earthlink.com... 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!

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

I saw all the photos.

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...
