more confused..
the colour of the fruits of both species seem to be variable but the looks of the scars on the trunks too..
It does look like the photo of Phoenix canariensis var. porphyrocarpa too, from your link

I don't know anylonger what to do?
As it could also be a hybrid, maybe I should move them to the Phoenix parent page?
I googled: Phoenix dactylifera rio de Janeiro and got this, it seems to be planted in abundance in town..

I think I'll stick with Phoenix dactylifera..
