Only because of that fantastic trunk and root formation, I was thinking "Ponytail Palm". Which, is not a palm but a member of the liliaceae family.
The only one I'm familiar with growing though is Beaucarnea recurvata, but with yours leaves are upright not curving down.
I've found in my ref book Beaucarnia gracilis which has that upright growth and multi-stemmed look, still with the broad "foot" of a base. Though the pics didn't do it justice.
I THINK that's what you have, try googling for pictures of "ponytail palm" and you will find some of the more upright variety.
