It looks a lot more like a palm tree to me - though I am not an expert.However you do not need to be an expert to know that ferns and palm trees are about as closely related as clownfish and jellyfish.

Because of their superficial resemblance, they are sometimes mistaken for palms or ferns, but are only distantly related to either.
It looks like a palm tree to me. There are thousands of different species of them, so it is really hard to tell in the photo. Maybe we should have an "is this a palm tree?" poll.
I regret not devoting my life to science, ;-(

Facts are NOT determined by opinion polls.
I do take an interest in science. In fact I need to know the answer now: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisplant/comments/4ewnzt/carcassonne_outdoor_pot_plant_on_the_left/
I merited Jungleboy for inadvertently starting the best thread of the day.
