What happen when a tree is surrounded with cement ground?

When a tree is surrounded by cement, its roots can become restricted, limiting their ability to absorb water and nutrients. The cement also creates a barrier that prevents proper drainage and airflow to the soil, which can lead to root suffocation and stress for the tree. Over time, this can result in stunted growth, poor health, and even death of the tree. Additionally, the heat generated by the cement can further exacerbate these conditions, making it difficult for the tree to thrive.
