Well...............
maybe maybe not. A threshold issue is what shape are they in. If poor than
replacements definitely better. But if in good shape, decent varieties then
a cost comparison is in order. The simplest starting point is, if 8-10"
trees are available what do they cost. or say 6-8" and they will acclimate
faster than 8-10". Next are there decet contractors to move them? Next
where are they going? It could be they don't need perfect balls. Let's for
sake of argument say they are going to a buffer at the edge of the site.
They might just be skidded over ther preserving those surface roots under the
tarmac... the center root balss going into holes the wider roots going into a
shallow are backfilled with good soil. On the other hand they might need to
be moved temporarlily and then back and require good tight root balls or
boxes to do it. It really is a factual exercise.

I'm with Bill and Ashley; chances are the roots snake along just under the
tarmac and you'd never get a decent rootball, they're probably bad clones
as well.
