    Looks like a Washingtonia or a Sabal of some sort (Fan palm or Palmetto) - ask around the island, there may be people willing to sell you saplings or give you seeds.

    Wow. Thanks a lot for the info! The larger palm must be really old! Unfortunately, these are the only ones on the entire Island and I can not locate the owner. I really want to get my hands on some seeds!
