Cordylines

[JanM]

Hi there and I have just joined the forum, it's the first forum I have ever joined, so forgive me if I do something wrong.

I know this isn't a food question, although I do grow quite a few veggies every year.

I have a Cordyline australis which has become two over the years. They are planted right next to my house and I am now getting worried about their roots up rooting bits of my house as they are about 7-8ft high now.

Does anyone know if they do this sort of damage? I would be grateful for any input.

Thanks & hi again. Looking forward to joining in with other threads along the way.

HI and welcome.

I have seen loads and loads of cordylines (cabbage palms) planted close to buildings ... they haven't toppled any yet.

OK I won't start worrying yet then.

Thanks

I think the roots are quite contained, having dug up a few I doubt they could do any damage!

Thanks Vicky. I am glad that I don't have to dig them up as I quite like them where they are.
