I have had mixed advice about planting magnolias next to a swimming pool.

I have purchased white caviar magnolias to grow as a privacy hedge in a planter box along one side of the pool.

The pool pipes will be below ground between the plants and the pool.

The information I have received is that the magnolia roots are invasive and will destroy the pool pipes and yet a lot of people have magnolias next to their pool.

So confused!!!! Appreciate comments from anyone with experience of magnolias next to pools.
