Palm ID - South Florida, Sketchy looking palms with sharp needles

[Gman]

Hi Everyone,

I have 4 of these palms in my backyard, probably 15-20ft max. Looks like they may be clumping palms but it's difficult to tell without clearing the area around them. I've only been here a year so I have no idea how old they are. The fronds are lined with needles that are very sharp and rigid.

They are particularly sketchy looking because they are planted in an area with a lot of competition for light, and Irma hit them pretty hard.

 

Anyhow, can someone ID these palms?

 

TIA

Looks like it but I can't tell if the crowns are the same as mine. Mine are ugly as hell lol

After seeing pics of the spines, I think we have a match. What an odd choice

 

Does everyone concur?

@Gman I agree with @gyuseppe.  In Florida, they are often hybridized with another type of phoenix to make them a little more cold hardy, but it is difficult to know if and what they mixed with.

Ok thanks. I'm going to clear some of the other stuff around it and see what I have
