Anyone care to take a stab at this one? It seems to be a Cocothrinax of sorts. 30' - 40' tall. 4" trunk.

Any thoughts on which one? The leaves had a distinct taper about a foot from the leaflet tips.

Hey Josh,

I believe that it was at a park at the end of A street near 26th. West of 26th. There is a park up there that a friend showed me with lots of old established palms. There's a Vietchia and a few large wine palms.

Definitely Coccothrinax but what species??? Hard to tell from the photos, but I always fall back on C. barbadensis. It is the most common and fastest growing Cocco to my knowledge (also it is a Cocco with "limp" fronds and those leaves don't have the stiff cardboard look of C. miraguama). This genus also hybridizes readily but the one in the photo is really old and the genus is not common in Cali.
