Washingtonia filifera, California fan palm or mexican fan palm or a weed which ever you want to call it You should cut it down now while it's small to avoid a head ache later.These palms are armed to the teath with claw like thorns and are a pain to clean and grow upwards of 50 feet where one spouts there are sure to be more to follow. This is Not a palm you want in your back yard or any where close to your house cut it down would be my advise. Plant a prize palm in place of the weed.
