Have you ever seen a Washingtonia Robusta hold so many fronds in Texas ?

This may be the healthiest looking Robusta I have ever seen, and in Austin Texas of all places. Thought it was an error on google maps but pulled up an older picture and same thing, holding tons of fronds 

Has anyone else seen one like this? Is this just the product of fertilizing and watering consistently

I seen one here in 8b Enterprise Alabama while driving through a neighborhood, I didn’t get a picture of it but it was at least 12 feet tall with green fronds going all the way down to the bottom of the trunk. I’ve never seen that before on a robusta. I’ve seen it on a windmill palm and Sabal but that’s it. Usually they are dead fronds that hang that low on robustas but only the most bottom layer was brown but others were green.
