What Is Base Plate Anchoring?
Base plate anchoring fixes a tree to the structure with a concealed plate bolted into the slab. It is the standard method where wind load is real or where the tree is tall enough that weight alone is not enough.
What the drawing showsPlate size, bolt specification, fixing centres and the load transferred into the slab — issued so your structural engineer can review and sign.
Keeping it invisibleThe plate sits inside the planter or under the finished base, so the fixing is not visible once the tree is dressed.

In most cases yes, but it is far cleaner to specify at design stage, because the plate and planter detail are built together.
