Will,
Just for what it is worth I would not make the tree permament to the seating area. I think having the stainless steel roots is a little too much. I would rather look at making a base on the tree that can be bolted to the concrete. You can cover the bolted base with dirt or mulch to hide the fasteners. This way it would allow to move the tree for any reson without having to get out the jack hammer to bust of the concrete.
If around school age kids no matter what you probably with end up with a little graffitee or abuse. No way really to prevent but I can just see some kid carving in his initials into the copper tree or a kid hanging from one of the branches impressing some girl.
