Is my Queen Palm’s trunk damaged?

[RoystoneaJax]

Hello everybody, attached are some pictures of the lower trunk of one of my Queen palms. I have been wondering about this palms health because it’s crown is not as full as my other one. I have noticed that the lower part of its trunk has some areas are a bit discolored and cracked. I have been giving it fertilizer seasonally and it has been getting plenty of water. Do you all think that I should do something for it’s trunk? Maybe spray it with some copper fungicide? Thank you!

I use peroxide on my Live Oaks, Maples, Palms, sweet bay magnolias, citrus, etc. to clean up the moldy look and help the plants “breathe” a little better. Never hurt anything so far. My neighbor was worried about the dreaded but common splitting on his bradford pears so I provided same advice years ago. They are still intact for now and massive specimens.

Looks pretty healthy to me.  I see lichen and moss, which are harmless.  Maybe someone wiser than me will say lichen and moss on a Queen hint at underlying and dangerous fungus, but I would wait for that wisdom.

Thank you for the responses. I just see so many Queen palms devastated by fungus or some other disease and I want to do what I can to make sure that doesn’t happen to mine.

Agree with @awkonradi.  I see lichens and mosses, which are harmless, and weathering.
