It depends on the extent of the imbalance. If it's minor, it slows growth. If it's major, there are a couple possibilities:

If it's a deciduous tree, all foliage wilts. That may trigger a rebudding of foliage in balance with the available roots.

For a conifer, it would probably turn brown and die.
