No, these were moved with a tree spade, 36-42" balls. Well worth it compared with the cost of the trees, given their size. I had a crew with a spade move about 30 trees and large shrubs, and most made it. Some were hand dug by these guys but still put in large-ish baskets. They were real pros, had moved very large trees in the past, for a local landscape architect who has designed and overseen plantings at arboreta and botanical gardens across North America.

I love Stewartias of all kinds, have seen some beautiful plants across the country. But I think plants labelled S. koreana are often superior to the other S. pseudocamellia I have seen, both in fall color, bloom, and vigor. This is this tree in bloom last July, BTW
