Not the base is being reconstructed, but what's on top of it. So, "Basiswechsel" would be more appropriate.

But: "Umpflanzen" is really a great term which stays within the context
of trees, roots and branches. Strictly speaking, "Umpflanzen" refers to
something you do at the root level. The corresponding action for
branches would be "Umpfropfen". I think that also conveys the effort
that is sometimes necessary ;)
