After a little walk around my neighborhood to spot something interesting, found this Phoenix of some kind that looks a lot like P. Rupicola.                    
If it is Rupicola, then it’s pretty amazing to see one on the panhandle. 
I suppose it could also be a Rupicola hybrid, or just a plain but interesting looking P. Canariensis. 
What say you?!!!!!!

It's more than likely a hybrid. One way to be sure is by touching the the leaf tips near the trunk. If you draw blood - it's a hybrid. :o
