All the palms in those pics are Maypans. There are a few Jamaican talls at Lummus Park though, which I've circled in these pictures:

I don't know if they inoculate, but there are Jamaican talls in South Florida still that survived LY, they just aren't as common as Maypans. Supposedly these are somewhat resistant now after surviving the LY onslaught, but I haven't seen much data in the literature about this. Panama talls are also found in South Florida, and are more resistant. Most of these came to Florida through the Jamaican coconut industry board after doing well in Jamaica through LY. I don't think there's enough data about Hawaiian talls in the state to know if they're resistant or not. There is a single Nawasi tall from Sri Lanka at Fairchild that was planted in the 20's and seems to be LY resistant. I've grown a few of these from seeds to donate to botanical gardens here on the west coast of Florida.

Is this the same variety as the tallest coconut in the Pahokee area (a picture of which is lurking somewhere on this forum)?

Wow I The Jamaican Talls are incredibly beautiful in grace and form. Esthetically beautiful curves and lines.

The one in the far back looks like a Jamaican Tall too
