John W. posted a pic of sabal palmettos, which is what the existing shorter palm is on the RIGHT side of the your new driveway.

It appears to me that you have one queen palm & one sabal palmetto. I don't see a 30 ft date palm anywhere.
I was told by a Villages representative that it's a date palm. Could be a queen. Do queens produce orange seeds about and inch in diameter?

Whatever it is, it makes a mess and I like something shorter that won't make a mess. I'd also like to be able to look out the window and see something more than a tree trunk.
