Don’t quote me on that - and I’d be nervous about it anyway because the plants would be shut up in a truck for days, probably overheated, certainly not watered, no access to light… In our case we probably could have had them transported but we were only moving a couple of miles, not long distance. I didn’t even ask as none of ours were so large that we couldn’t move them ourselves. Though if we were to move again… that ficus is now taller than I am…

Our company would not, except for in-state moves.
