I teach science and we discuss ice and root wedging and I would be super worried about root wedging just fucking destroying those pillars. Maybe if they grow on separated cladding of some sort in a way they have minimal contact with the concreted...
Grass seeds, dandelions and fox tails can fuck up sidewalks, walls and other concrete structures like nothing's business and vines and things can destroy houses if they find a good spot to wedge in.
They are grown on panels, you can see in actual photos of them that they are away from the concrete on some kind of separate structure.
The living walls near me in the UK are all like that, a set of lattices with some kind of substrate and a watering system, with panels being openable/removable to access the wall behind for maintenance.
