Is this a Sabal pumos?

The shape of the crown and the fronds, combined with the size of the inflorescences always reminded me of Sabal pumos. This palm is located near a local church and I always see it when I pass by there. It had no damage in 2021. It should've faced around -5 or -6 degrees celsius. It's also been fairly fast growing.

No idea on the ID but my pumos has taken -8c without any noticeable damage.  Pretty hardy specie.

it looks more like Mexicana to me. Pumos leaflets are a bit thinner and the seeds are very large compared to what you can see here.

The thing is that the local form of Sabal mexicana doesn't look like that, maybe it could be a form of Sabal mexicana from southern mexico or Sabal rosei.
