Trees growing around foreign objects

[caseopele]

Hi everyone! I wasn't sure what category to post this in. I found a great website that had pictures of trees that had grown around foreign objects. I can't find it now and can't remember the term used to describe the process. Does anyone know what the scientific term for that is? Thanks!
