Hey guys! I've been growing my dwarf eureka lemon tree in a pot for a little over 2 years now & i think it's time she goes into the ground. It's not looking to happy at the moment. im suspecting it's out growing the plastic pot it's currently sitting in. Im just after a few tips on planting it ( should i plant it while it's stressed / its also autum here in Australia. should i hold outuntill the winter time?)
I also added a few photos of where i want to plant it & im just wondering if it'll be a suitable forever home for it.
ALL help is greatly APPRECIATED as I'd be devastated if it died haha.
Cheers legends happy planting!

Looks like it’s definitely outgrowing that pot roots are probably circling and stressing the tree hence the droopy leaves. You can plant it now, but since it’s autumn in Australia, growth will slow and transplant shock hits harder. If you’re not in a frost-prone area, go ahead and plant, it’ll establish roots over winter. If you do get frost, better to wait until early spring.
