Palm Tree Roots Exposed – No Problem

Q. This is the pics of the palm tree roots. Why are the roots growing above the surface? Is it an issue and can I do anything to correct it? 

A. This is very common among palm trees and nothing to be alarmed about. You can leave them be or if you don't like the look of it then mulch the surface of the soil 5 inches deep with a wood chip mulch. The palms will benefit from that mulch. It's an aesthetic issue and not a palm tree

management issue.
