I planted a pindo palm in a planter 12- 14" from the pool wall, understanding that palms were the best next to a pool. It is growing rapidly and is kind of scaring us. Should we take it out? Are the roots going to affect the pool wall/foundation? Appreciate any help!

I would reccomend removing it. It is not the roots so much as the trunk gets very large, and will reach the conctrete, at that point the trunk will be pushing on the concrete! It is not good for the tree either. Check out www.pindopalms.com
