You are probably asking about the needle palm ( Not Chinese Fan?) .
Needle palms I see in nurseries around this area, are typically marked as European Fan. Have had the expert point at a yucca and say "That is a needle palm sir."
Needle palms and Euro-fans share very similar growth habits, cold hardiness and look very similar. I suggest asking the nurseries around here for Euros, and if they have more than 5 or 10, go look, 1 or so is likely a needle palm.
