Thanks Ken- for the information. However, it is still not clear to me whether it is Livistonia or Washingtonia. From photos infl. look alike. From Rajendra's Photo , I could not make out whether the fronds are armed (possibly not), one website says L. chinensis has average height of 15m. Perhaps Rajendra can help us closely looking at the trees, the fronds in particular.- Regards
