Please see the attached pictures. They are supposed to be Trachycarpus wagnerianus. As you can see the palm is about 2’ tall and should not be putting up an inflorescence, much less one like shown. Any anyone tell me what I have?  
 

I am located about 30 min south of Asheville  NC. And this palm comes through the winters just fine. 6D2CD757-751B-46A6-93F8-747B96CB1652.thumb.jpeg.2d36a943d28ed98821b3a1f04548fc93.jpeg

That is a Sabal minor palm or at least some sort of Sabal hybrid.

@Allen is correct.  Sabal species most likely minor.  Definitely not a Trachycarpus.

That explains allot!  I've had two of these for at least 5 years and couldn't figure out why they were so healthy but not growing taller.

Minors can get big in time and with the right ecotype  . Here's an ecotype from eastern NC .
