My Sylvester Palm Tree is shedding its lower bark to the point that the white roots are exposed. Is there anything I can do to help it out? It's about 2 feet about the tree so far. Thank you!!
It is splitting to let the roots come out. This is normal and no cause for concern.
Hi Lorie, hope this information helps you with you palm tree. Good luck

I have a bigger problem. Not only is the base of my Sylvester Palm splitting, the middle of the trunk is loosing bark and exposing what looks like roots.
