Mixed up some seeds so I only know this is a Trachycarpus. I bought 2 different sources of seed one called nova with 360 fronds and blue underside (supposedly It came from a big palm in Vancouver) and the other seeds was advertised as Nanital I believe.

I'd say Nova.  Nova,Priceps &Takil fronds divide early w narrow segments.

Nainital (a Fortunei variant) has very thick leathery strap leaves and when the fronds open & divide, it's usually 3-wide segments.

 

Here are some of my Palms. The one on the far right is a "Nainital" (fake Takil)

The other ones are Trachycarpus F var. Bulgaria.

Notice the difference.  Nainital is denser with a horizontal creep while Bulgarias have open crowns with longer petioles.

Bulgaria's also tend to grow straight up. Growing sideways or creeping is not very common.

Let me guess the fronds are very thickly ridged and thick in general.  It's a dead ringer for my nainital.  Wild type nova have a narrow frond that is thinner.
