IS SONG OF INDIA SAFE TO PLANT NEAR POOL

Hubby and I are concerned. The plant has thrived over the years and is over 7 feet high. I am worried about the roots possibly damaging the pool which is just 3 feet away from the plant. It is a lovely backdrop for space. The branches are very thick and strong. Hope to get some professional advise. Thank you!

Outside it can grow to 18 feet with an 8 foot spread. But you can trim it back if it starts getting too tall and wide. The roots are not known to be a problem.
