    Could someone help me identify this Palm? I was told it might be a pindo Palm. Thank you!

    Possible, do you have pictures of the fronds?
    Also, where did you get it?

    It's still difficult to get a good look at your plant - most pindos have a very distinct arch to the fronds with stiff spines. It's also possible that you have a 'mule'; a pindo cross (it's not that uncommon to find crosses mislabled as something else)
    Where did you get your palm?

    Might be Hyophorbe verschaffeltii, Spindle Palm.
