We just bought a house and need help identifying these trees and shrubs in our front yard:

1) The palm tree in this picture.

2) Also the 2 tall, skinny evergreens in the background of the above picture.

3) The tall palm tree in this picture.

4) This is a pygmy date palm, right?

5) What is this? (Some type of a fan palm)?

Thank you!

pygmy date is correct. the tall palm i believe is a washingtonia robusta or mexican fan palm. the small fan i cant tell does it have teeth on the frons? and the first 1 not sure but will try to find out for you.

No teeth on the fronds of the short palm (#5 above).

Could the two tall palm trees (#1 and #3 above) be both Mexican Fan Palms?

Thanks!!!!
