winch it off onto a weird wheeled trolley deal and roll it into place.
The "standing" looks like the fitting of the mast, Moby Dick style.
Good luck on your palm!

To answer your question, it is a
Phoenix dactylifera
It is a true "date" palm. I checked 3 nurseries, so the price is in line. That was actually their sale price. The crane lift over the wall cost is only $200. This is the heartiest and best palm to have in Arizona.
