Potential San Jose, California Coconut Palm?

I could be wrong but the trunk and fronds kind of look like Syagrus. I suspect it is some kind of Syagrus hybrid cross. To my knowledge, the Syagrus genus cannot hybridise with Cocos Nucifera, but it does hybridise with a lot of other species, which is probably the case here.

Someone else will be able to give a more accurate idea of what it is. I believe @Silas_Sancona used to live in that area and is pretty knowledgeable about Syagrus and stuff in general. He will probably be able to tell you what it is. Either way I am pretty sure it is a species of Syagrus, or a Syagrus hybrid.

Not right for a coconut. I need to see closeups of trunk, crown and fronds. Syagrus is definitely a possibility but I see what looks like long spines on the petioles. If so, I lean toward Phoenix. Coconuts are unarmed as are most Syagrus.

Looks just like an atypical queen palm, the leaflets are more upright/stiff than usual. But it's pretty normal for queen palms to vary widely in how they look.

I agree with Ben and believe it’s some sort of Syagrus hybrid.  I’m not seeing any spines on the petioles and the whole area towards the top of the trunk looks just screams Queen to me. I’m going with S. romanzoffiana x S. schizophylla as a guess. Would be great to get a higher resolution shot of the crown.

I'm pretty sure it is not Cocos nucifera. 

There once was a somewhat long term coconut palm that survied for a number of years down in Newport Beach, CA. It was stunted and never fruited, however.

Coconut palms need true tropical conditions to really survive long term most of the time. They need a long season of consistant hot temps (85 - 95 F), high humidity, and intense sunshine.  Winter's in the Bay are far too cool for them and summers would never have enough heat/humidity/rainfall for them to survive I would guess.  

Still, a nice looking palm, however.

Queen ..or something with a lot of Queen in it unfortunately.. Coconut fronds would be longer / leaflets as well.

Closest look a like to a coconut we've got growing out there, for now at least ...AFAIA,  Majesty and Kings
