Anne and I researched why palm trees in LA in particular grow so tall and this is what my classmate had to say (and felt that reaching out to an expert was OK)<br />"From what I know and researched, Washingtonia robusta are not the best for dry, drought areas, even though they come from the drier areas of northern Mexico. They particularly thrive where there are deep pockets of moist soils in there native environments. In public spaces in LA, like you said, they likely get maintenance attention (including irrigation) which optimizes their growth compared to when subjected to the climate stress of northern Mexico."<br />So hopefully this helps to answer why these trees grow so tall specifically in LA!
