Tree of Life is an artifical tree engineered from a retrofitted oil platform. Can't say if concrete comes into it or not. My guess would be that it's similar to the rockwork we're seeing in the Sub Lagoon. Concrete structure (Tough to Be A Bug show theatre) wrapped in steel beaming & other stuff used to make the carvings and wood.
