Any idea what this might be? North San Diego near the coast.

Palm tree on hill

Also, just for fun, here's a shot of a green ash tree with berries.
It's covered with these red berries every year about this time.

Still looks like a yucca to me. Have you compared to google images of
yuccas?

Yes, many images. I think you're right. This yucca elephantipes looks about as close to mine as I could find...

To give an idea of how fast they have grown, the one with 6 limbs grew from 2-ft to 8-ft in 20 years. The tallest one grew from 5 to 15 ft in the same time. The berries are about 1/2-inch diameter, are green when they fall and then turn orange.

Thanks for the fun discovery trip, everybody!
