I've had two palms do that including my huge Sylvester. I was told that is normal and not worry. Both trees seem to be healthy regardless.

Send these pictures to the Sumter County Extension Service. It is a free service and they will help you. Here is their Email address sumter@ifas.ufl.edu
Every Florida county has an Extension service. History. The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 established the Cooperative Extension Service, a partnership between land grant colleges nationwide, as a means for disseminating and implementing research-based information from land-grant universities, including the University of Florida.

We trimmed all palms, 1 foot BELOW the ground. When landscaping is less than perfect in the Villages its because of palm trash, besides bugs love them.

I think that is exactly correct and may be to the trunk being sprayed with irrigation water and the tree sending out new roots.
