Special palm in Amsterdam?

Wife and I spent a few days walking around the canals of Amsterdam back in July. Morning walks were most ideal to enjoy some solitude, that is before the summer holiday crowds came crashing in after 11am. 

Never saw a single palm in Amsterdam, except for this one..

Must have been special, because the retailer would unshackle these and wheel em out in giant pots for outdoor enjoyment. Then wheel them back in and locked up at night.

Any identification welcomed. :) Just found these quite curious and highly unusual in my walks throughout Amsterdam.

That's a mediterranean fan palm, probably chamareops humilis it's a pretty nice palm for cold climates. There is variations on chamareops humilis but probably just a normal chamareops humilis I'm not an expert in chamareops.

I think those C. humilis are perfectly hardy in Holland. They look to be suffering somewhat from being "containerized".

That is a "normal" Chamaerops humilis indeed!  So not a cerifera or vulcano. It is growing rather long petioles due to lack of sunlight.
