Name That Plant!

Is this is palm tree?

15 years ago

We have this tree in the backyard. It looks like a palm tree. I have been searching the internet looking for one that looks the same, but can't find one.

The trunk is 12ft high and to the top of the tree is about 16ft. It is about 12-15 years old.

The diameter of the trunk is 11 inches.

Thanks.

Yes, that's a palm.
Unfortunately there are many, many kinds of palms.
Maybe when it fruits you can identify it better.

It could be Carludovica Palm, AKA Panama hat plant.
