Livistona decora / ribbon palms

Livistona decora has been high on my list to try up here. Although what about Livistona nitida? I seem to gather that it is the most hardy (maybe besides L. chinensis bud-hardy wise). 

Here is a Livistona in a neighborhood near me where judging by damage on other palms (Large Phoenix moderately burned, Washingtonia 75+% burned, P. robelenii killed) it was around 19-20 deg. Virtually no damage- does anyone know which species it is? I want to say Livistona decora.

I've noticed it sends out flowers very vigorously: unfortunately the homeowner way over-pruned it after this picture was taken. This may seem crazy, but I've thought of asking whoever lives there to let it fruit and I'll pay for the seeds. Whatever species it is, it appears to have great potential for our marginal zone: Livistona chinensis in the same neighborhood were almost completely defoliated.

Opal, one of the reasons i placed the heads so close together is to try and get better pollination for seed, some of the larger ones in my yard dont seem to set as much seed as i would like and i am questioning whether or not the pollen pool is adequate
