    Its' leaves are somewhat fanned and have hairlike curls on the leafs' edge.
    I've looked around in several palm websites but just haven't found it... someone please help!
    Here are some photos.. Thanks in advance... W.

    Thanks saltcedar,

    It certainly appears to be washingtonia. I actually remember seeing a fairly large one down in Mexico several years ago and loving the cottony threads on the leaves.
    I'm thinking I may have a w.filifera as opposed to the robusta, but it may still be too young a specimen to tell.
    Thanks again, W.
