Washingtonia filifera
California Fan Palm, sometimes called Petticoat Palm due to the appearance of dead leaves next to trunk.
Coastal Chapparal
Located at Old Adobe at Santa Rosa Plateau. I laughed because all the woodpecker holes in the trunk are stuffed with acorns from the Live Oak behind, presumably by squirrels. As far as I know, this is the only palm species native to California (low-desert canyons)
