Welcome to the site!

Looks like it could be Alocasia macrorrhizos Giant Taro.

Moving your question to the Tropicals forum.

As Yogi Berra said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

I agree, that's not a palm tree but rather a variety of Alocasia (commonly called Elephant Ears) and some can grow quite large. Here are a couple of photos from our database for comparison to the one in your photo:
