Palm ID

Trying to get an identification of this palm. Any help appreciated, thanks.

Not really sure . I would guess a type of Sabal with the smooth petiole and costapalmate leaf . This is just a guess. , there are others with more knowledge will be able to make an identification based on more experience. Harry

Looks like a Sabal palmetto, that’s my guess. Location would help.

Definitely Sabal sp. Difficult or impossible to ID at species level at that age.

Thanks for all the comments. I suspected it was a Sabal. This particular one is on the Gold Coast, near Brisbane Australia. But Sabals are spreading like weeds here (Northern Territory), there are at least a dozen volunteers on my place and I see them around the district quite often, especially in parks where they've managed to avoid the lawn mowers. They're no where near as weedy as Caryota mitis and are fairly slow growers.  Never see them in nurseries these days, they seem to have gone "out of fashion" quite a few years back but they've definitely left their mark.
