| Since macarthur palms are native to australia, can anyone tell me if I planted some too close. I planted 4 palms about 1 foot from a buried pvc water main pipe to my home. Is this a potential disaster in my future or am I over reacting? |

| g'day kekoa, palms in general don't have those sort of intrussive damaging root systems, and with the main bringing water into you home they are usually sealed so that no roots can disturb/penetrate them, the only possibility being should the palm blow over could it break the pipe my moving it?? that is probably something especially with the mcarthur palms that won't be an issue. len |

| Thanks Len, I guess I tend to "sweat the small details" in my garden. Hate to make a mistake, then pay for it years down the road. Checked out your website. Great site with a lot of useful info.! |
