Short Answer: 'No', NOT in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
But, there some options ... keep reading ...
.
As an aside ...
.
We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
We ONLY have "Branches" (ie. "Ancestral" lines; or, if you like, "Pedigrees"), that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
There are over 1 BILLION individuals/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
"Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is NOT like Other "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or, "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like); and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes (eg. the "Old" PAF; or, "Ancestral Quest"; or. the like).
.
We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees' in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' like Other "Websites"; and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes.
.
We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
"Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is built on a "Open Edit" Platform - hence, why any registered User/Patron can "Edit" (ie. Add, Delete; and/or, Change) ANY "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
The options ...
.
Firstly ...
.
IF, you maintain your own "Digital" Database(s) of your "Ancestral" lines; or, if you like, "Pedigrees"; THEN, you can upload them in the "Genealogies" part of 'FamilySearch'.
.
But, please be aware that the "Genealogies" part of 'FamilySearch' is "Static" - such, "Ancestral" lines; or, if you like, "Pedigrees", are "As Is" (ie. as loaded at the time), they cannot be "Changed" on-line, the ONLY option is to "Delete" them; and. upload a NEW one (version).
.
The "Ancestral" lines; or, if you like, "Pedigrees" in the "Genealogies" part of 'FamilySearch' are for "Research" purposes ONLY, viewable, to all Users/Patrons.
.
Secondly ...
.
Whereas ...
.
IF, you DO NOT maintain your own "Digital" Database(s) of your "Ancestral" lines; or, if you like, "Pedigrees"; THEN, the are "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
Some of those "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' are, 'On-Line' "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or, "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like).
.
Some of those "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' are, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes (eg. "Ancestral Quest"; or. the like).
.
Some of those "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' of the, 'On-Line' "Websites"; and, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes, have, BOTH, a FREE version; and, a "Subscription" (ie. "Paid") version - the latter simply having more 'Bells and Whistles'.
.
You can use one or MORE of those "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
The choice is yours ...
.
The "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' can be found in the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
Here is the direct "link':

Enjoy.

I know that this may not be what you want to here; but, I certainly hope it helps just a little; and, gives you some perspective.

Brett shares some good info.
If it was me - I would simply "bookmark" those people who I would consider the "home person" for each of the "perceived" independent trees.
Like for example I could pick my 8 great grandparents - and create a bookmark - or copy of the Family Search Link for each of those 8 people
then I don't have to worry about the "unwieldy" navigation to them.
I can go directly to each of these 8 trees in a single click
(though truth is these 8 trees - are not disjoint - they are very much combined - but I can navigate instantly to the "main" person in that "tree" or "view" of interest - as if they were 8 different trees (when in reality they really are not different trees) - - but it all is just a matter of perception - as well as being able to quickly navigate to the desired person.
