prune it every year. However I am concerned that it's roots may be
damaging the structure of the house wall. Several roots are pushing up
a patio paving stone and there is also a small crack on the inside wall
between the wall and ceiling inside the house but this may be caused by
normal settlement of the property.
It is a lovely plant and gives us lots of pleasure so I don't want to
lose it.
Does anyone know if the roots of this plant can cause structural damage
please?

I've never heard of it happening.
