Transplanting A Lemon Tree Cutting From Ground

Question

I took a cutting from my mature lemon tree and put in ground next to same tree. Its now about a foot tall growing under the canopy of tree. I want to move to another area. Thanks

Answer 1

The article below is geared more for a larger tree, but you can glean some tips from it. I don't think you have to root prune ahead of time, but you do need to try to get the whole rootball when you dig. (Try not to disturb roots of mature tree next to it.) Water well the day before you dig, and water well after you replant.
