Short Answer: 'Yes', you can; BUT, there is more than likely NO need ...
.
FYI
.
Firstly ...
.
Most new (and, some old) Users/Patrons DO NOT understand the basic nature and premise of "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', when they join in.
.
Please let me explain ...
.
Secondly ...
.
We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
We ONLY have "Branches" (ie. Ancestral" lines), that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
"Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is NOT like 'On-Line' "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like); and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes (eg, the OLD, now no longer supported, "PAF"; or, "Ancestral Quest"; or, the like).
.
We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees' in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' like other 'On-Line' "Websites"; and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes.
.
We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/persons 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'.
.
Thirdly ...
.
Enter (ie. 'Create) the individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' one at a time - on a one by one basis.
.
Many of the individuals/persons most probably ALREADY exist in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
Only one or two of one's generations of "Living" Family members (and, perhaps one or two of one's generations of "Deceased" Family members) may be required to be entered/input in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; before, some of the "Deceased" individuals/persons from one's Ancestral lines ALREADY existing in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', are discovered.
.
Use the "Find" facility/function/feature to Search "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', you may be surprised to find some (if not, many) of them already there.
.
Finally ...
.
As far as I am aware, there is an INTERFACE, that works/connects (directly) between "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; and, "Ancestry_com", where one can, "Download"; and, "Upload" (ie. "Transfer", both, Data; and, individuals/persons) between, them.
.
I hope this helps.

It is NOT the "Size" of one's "Ancestral" lines that matters...
.
It is whether or not, one's "Ancestral" lines, ALREADY "Exist" in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
As, we ONLY have "Branches" (ie. Ancestral" lines), that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' - there is NO, Your 'Tree'; or, my 'Tree".
.
We DO NOT want (or, need) any more "Duplicates" in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
