Appreciate your help. Need a more specific answer regarding the
specific information I provided.

Generally, a single transplant is best, less root disturbance. I would
suggest that on a question like this, a general location would help, you
could run into some site problems if too far off the better climate range
for lemon. At the size you are representing, planting out now should not
hurt, but again, like real estate, location, location, location.

Beware so called "tree biologist" that have never studied biology.


The final location's native soil will make or break the tree. Central TX,
fractured limestone/caliche/minor clay topsoil depth minimum. 20 degree
incline, front yard. 8" of topsoil consisting of sandy loam and some pine
bark. The climate is appropriate, however.


Central Texas tough on any transplant, good luck.
