P. canariensis

It's a Phoenix, probably dactylifera. Phoenix palms hybridise very readily so that many of them around the place aren't pure species.

Thanks for your help. We were googling and thought it might be a dactylifera or a sylvester.

Sylvester is another possibility but I'd guess predominantly dactylifera. As I said before, so many are hybrids it's difficult sometimes to be exact.

Dactylifera are common in commercial plantings in California. When palms get too old or too tall or when their productivity drops in commercial date plantations, farmers will replace them with younger palms and sell the old palms in bulk to developers and palm brokers. All of these end up in parking lots in shopping centers and in other public places. It could very well be dactylifera.
