Phoenix x (palm ID)

[Estlander]

Anyone know what cross this might be? It’s obviously Phoenix of some kind. What throws me off is the thickness of the trunks. It’s a suckering one so I’m thinking Phoenix Reclinata, but leaning heavily towards Canariensis. Normally Phoenix Reclinata crosses have thinner trunks. It’s in Destin (coastal FL panhandle).

Is it suckering or are they separate palms planted close together?  Also with it being a Phoenix, it could be a hybrid. Whatever it is, I want it.

It’s definitely suckering as it had quite a few coming up from the ground. At some point it’s also had a slightly thicker center trunk that’s been now cut off at ground level. But yeah, whatever it is, it looks cool. 

I can get you seeds from it when they ripen, sometime around Sept-Oct.
