95% of Washingtonia sold in my area are hybrid filibustas.  Yours looks like it has robusta in it but if it's pure robusta?  Too young to tell for me anyway.

@dimitriskedikogloy nice to meet you!

Looks like you’re in Greece which is a lot colder than most of the places here in the U.S. where Washingtonias grow. As @Fusca notes most of the Washies here are crosses between filigree and robusta. Filigrees are much hardier to the cold than robustas.

Let your palm grow a bit so we can see the leaf bases: robustas are red while filigrees are green, but hybrids are a blend of the two.

You'll have to let this one recover from it's sad state before too much can be determined.
