Circular reference and Garbage collection

Hi, I have a tree structure in C# with pointer to children and parent. This
will form a circular reference.

My question: will this kind of circular reference affect garbage collection
(parent has references to children, and children have references to parent.
such that none of them can be GC)?

If yes, how can I avoid it?

Thanks,
Guogang
