Can django-mptt render a partial tree with ancestors and descendents from a subset of nodes?

Question

Can django-mptt construct a partial tree from a list of nodes?

Given this complete tree:

Cars
  Automatic
    Truck
    Car
  Manual
    Truck
    Car
    Big-rig

and given only a subset of nodes, let's say only ["Big-rig", "Car (automatic)"] can I efficiently render this tree:

Cars
  Automatic
    Car
  Manual
    Big-rig

?

I know I can descend nodes, moving down through their children. But can I render this partial tree with ancestors, too?
