Guessing Washingtonia robusta.
Nice buy for 50 bucks...that'd be $300 here IF someone had one.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Yup, Mario, if I say a ROBUSTA, it's definitely a FILIFERA.

Judging by the trunk,leaf,coloration of petiole bases and the lack of large thorns on the petioles....
I would say its highly likely to be mostly/all Filifera.

Very nice palm!
I only know palms to genus so I'll stay out of this.
But W. filifera should be very happy where you live as it is quite dry in winter, right?

How are the Trachys spear looking now-they should have recovered at this point in the season.
