With some difficulty! Trees need quite a bit of preparation before they can be moved and researching that on the 'net or getting someone with expertise might have a successful outcome. However, at 25 years old a lemon tree is in its dotage and replacing it with a new plant might be the simplest solution. Elaine

On the other hand, grafting a piece of the old lemon onto a new rootstock could be another way of ensuring its survival. Elaine
