My mom bought this palm about 8 years ago from Phil Bergman. It has been moved twice so that has definitely slowed its growth but it seems healthy now. And it is sort of a nice little decorative palm.

Yes, definitely a Livistona. But a chilensis? Hmmmm ... would tend more to a L. rotifundifolia.

Rotundifolia does not often (ever?) thrive in California the way this plant appears to be doing.
