Here is a young Jubaea surrounded by Canary Date Palms- note the smooth trunk of the Jubaea. Jubaeas are often confused with these date palms. Eventually this individual may outlive/grow the surrounding Dates.

Here is a plant just forming a trunk... probably about 15 years old, in Santa Monica, California

And this is a sad, but amazing successful attempt at growing one of these palms in a tropical environment (Orlando, Florida)... this palm has large rot holes in it and always looks on the verge of death. It is a mere ghost of the monsters in more temperate regions.
