I have two palm trees in my house I don't know the names of and would like to research.

And this one i'm pretty sure it's not a palm but this forum might know anyways.

The first one looks like a silver date palm (Phoenix sylvestris) and the second one is some sort of yucca tree.

Phoenix something and to the right of it a Yucca and a Wasshingtonia Robusta to the left. How long ago did yout move in? the Robusta is at most a year old.

I'd try the Palm forum if no one here knows it. You can post a link back to this message so you don't have to post the picture again. Here is a link that might be useful: Palm forum

Hi everyone, you all are so smart with these palms/plants. Thank you for the quick response. I do believe the tall palm is a Queen Palm. Its that sago palm that worries me. My dog is 13...so we thankfully have conquered the "greeting at the door with the entire plant in her mouth" phase. But this sago palm makes me nervous. We're in Central California. I don't understand why landscapers put plants in that are poisonous to pets...I suppose now I need to figure out how to get it removed. Thank you all so very much for the information. At least now I know & can figure out a plan.

The first palm tree looks more like a Phoenix Dactylifera to me ( i have 6 dif. date palms in a good size and it just looks a little more like a dacty. to me.) the second is a Yucca Rostrata and i would say a Washingtonia Filiferia because your in Cali... just like the huge trunk pictured is a filiferia so i would guess that little one is also... very nice palms tho -Justin in Vb

I agree with the Phoenix dactylifera and W filifera id, but the Yucca appears to have 'hairs' on the leaves which rostrata does not have... but I don't know what Yucca it is... just not rostrata. Phoenix sylvestris is pretty rare in California while dactyliferas are everywhere.

Your "yucca" looks like a Dasylirion to me. Not sure which type though.
