name this palm please

17 years ago

The house we just bought has 3 of these palms planted very close to the screened lanai. I think they should be moved. I have been unable to find any like them at the nurseries I've gone to. They are about 3 ft tall and are producing offshoots. Can anyone tell me what kind they are? Thanks.

I agree with topher. They look like Majesty palms (Ravenea rivularis). While you're busy transplanting, I would also put more distance between them--I think they look better with some space between them.
