Mini Palm?

Hi,
For sure a palm, Phoenix reclinata, aka Senegal date, is my guess. The
presence of sharp spines on the lower petiole will confirm it as a Phoenix
of some type. Reclinatas are usually clumping palms, meaning that even if
you cut the stems you don't want, more will grow. You can keep cutting them
off to maintain the look you want. You might be able to split the clump and
have two plants, iffy but possible. Is this to remain a potted plant or is
it going in the land scape as reclinatas get large.
HTH -_- how
no NEWS is good
