Do palms have invasive roots?
Palms look beautifully tropical and bring welcome shade to a garden. But as palms mature they produce a secondary root system near, or even above, the soil level. It's this fibrous and prolific shallow root system that makes it nearly impossible for other plants to take hold around the base of the palm.
Which palm tree provides the most shade?
These are the best palm trees that provide shade: Coconut Palm. Red Sealing Wax Palm. Buccaneer Palm. European Fan Palm. Lady Palm. Piru Queen Palm. Pindo Palm. Mexican Blue Fan Palm.

Thereof, what plants go well with palm trees?
What to plant under palm trees? Tropical and subtropical plants are ideal to plant under your palm tree. Some great choices are creeping vines, bromeliads, crotons, cycads, caladiums, and ferns. You can even plant smaller palm trees under tall palm trees to enhance the look. Keeping this in consideration, can palm trees live in shade? There's no one-size-fits-all answer for growing palms. Most like full sun, but a few do well in some shade. Most are drought-tolerant, but a few like wet soil, so make sure you choose carefully.
How close can a palm tree be to a house?
Even though it's unlikely that a palm root will cause a crack in the concrete, you should consider planting or transplanting a species 12 or more feet away from a hard surface. The distance will allow the roots to spread at a healthy rate and prevent unwanted concrete damage.
