So this should not be  a seedling any more but it was lost under over-growth in the nursery until recently.

My guess is a Copernicia but far from sure.

Any ideas appreciated.

Your guess is correct. Most likely a baileyana, though too young to know if it is a hybrid or not. I should know...

I never knew any palms had thorns on the actual leaf! That's my learning done for the day.

Haha, all Copernicia have that, and they will get you good, even if you are careful! Cant tell you how many times they have got me in the hand or arm-they usually break off in the wound...
