Daughter in San Diego ( where I am now ) decided to move her 4 year old Mandarin tree out of it's pot, into the garden. Took her ages to get it out then we carried it across to a prepared hole which we watered thoroughly and put it in, filling round the root with her compost. We've watered it since then.
I just read that it was exactly the wrong time of year to do this. Will it survive ? Pictures show original pot and completed job.

Thanks B, you've quite made my day, but as to your question - sadly not. I should have moved many years ago but it's a bit too late now. Wonderful place though !

I think you'll be fine especially being in San Diego, California and you moved it to a more favorable location. Just keep it well watered until it settles into its new spot. Are you moving to California?
