Matt, I am sure your Seaforthia elegans is A. cunninghamiana.  Mine is just like yours, with one dominant trunk and two smaller ones.

Hey, guys, both Archontophoenix (all species) and Ptychosperma elegans are single trunked palms... so, I wonder, multiple trunks???  :o

Probably, it might be another genus as most Ptycho species show the notched leaf tips...

Also, trunking Archontos are easily told apart by the usual detail of showing a slightly enlarged trunk base (quite visible on Bill's pic and clearly noticed on the palm on the left on Matt's pic).

Maybe you should post the clumping 'Seaforthia' pics at the main forum to get a better id, as I am not figuring out either what it could be (moreover being reasonably cold hardy... some Dypsis??)

This palm is not really clumping, but multi-planted.  When I made my comment, it was because since every one of the A. cunninghamianas they had at that particular nursery was triple planted with one large and two small plants, it made it even more likely that he bought his from the same place.  Mine is already showing a ring or two of woody trunk.
