Unusual tree

This was posted on social media and nobody had even a remote idea on what it is.
Any idea?

Looks like a giant Beaucarnea recurvata (Ponytail Palm) or a close relative.

 

There is a similar tree photo at Beaucarnea recurvata - Bottle Palm, Ponytail Palm

 

Actually, this image is very popular on social media, usually with the common name given.
Edited - here it is on Facebook, credited to Ejaz Gujjar:

Interesting. It makes one wonder what else is being continually recirculated in social media.

 

Oddly, the Facebook page says nothing about where the Beaucarnea shown is or how big it is. Without such being presented there is no evidence that it is in fact a recognized exceptional example, larger than others known.

 

The guy who is getting the credit for the photo never gives any info about the photos he posts on his FB page. I didn't actually find this one, have no idea when it would have been posted. He lives in Islamabad, Pakistan, but that doesn't mean the photo is from there.

 

Thank you!
