I have three of them and they all have roots like that at the bottom of the tree. I plant flowers and shrubs at the base so it isn’t as noticeable. In my neighborhood many of the more mature Sylvester Palms look like that. If you want a definitive answer you certainly could consult a certified arborist.

Thank you so much for the insight and information, and the ideas of how to make those areas of the trunk not so conspicuous. We have Tree Frog coming out in a few days.
