Palm damage - Split in foxtail palm trunk

Hi,

      Enclosed are some photos of Foxtail palms at my property in Queensland.   I planted the one in front after the others, it is starting to catch up now in growth.  However, it has developed an enormous split in the truck.  It still appears healthy and is still putting on new growth, will this split in the truck harm the plant and is there anything I need to do ?  Many thanks, Kerry, Bribie Island QLD Aust.
