Areca Palm?

Areca palm is the closest I have seen to this. I had this plant and another of these plants in pots for awhile. They were given as gifts and I could not recall a name. After planting this one I am concerned that it will get very tall in time and possibly reach electrical wire above so I am considering moving it elsewhere. I believe there are a few dwarf (around 5 ft) and some shorter palm trees (10 ft and under) and I sort of was hoping this was one but if not that is ok. Thank you very much for helping nel5397.

They get to be 10 to 20 feet in Hawaii and Florida. They often send up so many suckers that they will eventually form a thicket (like bamboo, but not as invasive).

They form a large clump in time. Of course you can always chop down the largest ones.

As the palms lose their lowest fronds, the trunks have beautiful rings that look sort of bamboo-ish.
