Roots of virtually ALL palms are extremely non-aggressive and stay contained very close to the base/trunk of the plant. They won't hurt the pool or anything else they are planted close to.

Thank a lot

Sarah,

Forget the Mexican palms altogether- they are a maintenance nightmare, and more so for a pool - they will drop seeds, seed pods, frond pieces, the cut husks, etc. You will regret it 10000%.

No matter what palm you plant, I would only plant it downwind of the winds you get 90% of the year...also, don't plant anything w in 10 ft of your pool regardless. if you already planted them, there's still plenty of time to relocate...good luck
