Norfolk Island Palms are very fragile trees and should NEVER be planted close to a house or any kind of structure. They should be planted out in the open, if at all. They blow over very easily in high winds. Your neighbor should remove the tree and not stake it because its integrity has been compromised and is unsafe.
