Maybe it isn't a desert plant. Closer examination may reveal which palm it is. ie; could it be a cabbage tree palm?
It is a tall, slender palm growing up to about 25 m in height.
The cabbage-tree palm grows best in moist, organically rich soils, and thrives in both sheltered and well-lit situations. It is also salt, frost and wind tolerant, with populations occurring in exposed coastal situations along the east coast of Australia from Queensland to Victoria.
It has leaves plaited like a fan; the terminal bud of these is small but sweet. In summer it bears flower spikes with sprigs of cream-white flowers.
The trees accumulate dead fronds or leaves, which when the plant is in cultivation are often removed by an arborist.
Seeking protection from the sun, early European settlers in Australia used fibre from the native palm to create the cabbage tree hat, a distinctive form of headwear during the colonial era.

Happiness simply is.
There need be no pursuit.
