Very large tree cracking curb in narrow island
The root system on this tree managed to find a way to explore the soil directly under the pavement. Two large roots can be seen lifting the pavement (blue arrows). Research shows that water and air are abundant on the underside of the pavement surface. When a tree manages to get large in a small space, roots typically destroy hardscape (see next photo for detail).
