Help with Caryota ID.

Montebello, CA(Zone 10a)

Goodmorning everyone (at least for me)
I was working at the nursery yesterday and took a picture of this Fishtail. I was wondering if anyone would care to take a guess on the type of fishtail?
When I asked the owners they were not sure if it was Caryota
No or Caryota Gigas.

Whichever it is I'm prepared to break my back doing more work so I can put this guy in my backyard. For some reason
I am drawn to these huge fishtails and their unique apperance. Almost like a giant aussie tree fern.

see ya's

Looks like it might be caryota obtusa. We have a solitary trunked newly discovered form at work..Caryota Laoensis....only a few in the country and we got a large plant from a grower in Florida. Very beautiful caryota palm.
