Hi AA, as far as I can gather your Indian Cliff Date Palm is most probably the Phoenix ruplicola whose origin is the foothills of the Himalayas. This is considered the most beautiful of its family and looks very much like a feathery coconut palm. It has moderate frost tolerant and is a fast grower. I have quite a few of this palm.

As for the Toddy Date Palm, do you know the scientific name? Common names are misleading and I can't help you here.

I am a serious palm collector and I have over 100 species of rare palms besides the common ones. You can talk palms with me anytime!
