Maybe not a North Caroline species, but absolutely avoid a Queen Palm in
close proximity to your pond. Roots will grow through the liner like it's
not even there. Only solution is concrete (or some distance) between the
palm and the liner.

Does anyone know of a palm tree that will survive the winters in Zone 7A,
North Carolina. I'd like to plant one or two next to my pond in my back
yard. Thanks!
