Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you

I'm trying to catch up in decades of knowledge with those in this group.  Would this be C. Crinita?  So healthy looking.

Here is one in 9a San Antonio with about 3 feet of clear (hairy) trunk.  It's "jungle planted" in a courtyard microclimate on the south side of a building at the Oblate School of Theology.  Hard to get a good shot of it where it's situated next to a wall on one side and an ornamental pond a few feet on the other.  It has made a nice recovery from the 19°F freeze from Jan. 2018 but not sure how cold this one actually experienced.  It's holding around 10 leaves now and did not look very good just 6 months ago but looking happier today!
