Seeing those as well as the ones in Balboa Park and around Mission Bay inspired me to plant one in my Carlsbad garden 25 years ago.  When they get tall and the bases are thinned they are great public plantings.  They are a bit less friendly for a typical backyard here in Southern California though.  This species, Rhopalostylis and Dypsis decaryi were my first revolts against planting the more typical Mexican Fan Palm, Queen Palm, King Palm and Pygmy Date Palm (note the intentional use of their "common names").  My efforts with Rhopalostylis sapida and Dypsis decaryi predated my C reclinata planting.

Its interesting to hear how people graduated up to the less common species.
