Best time to plant citrus is in the spring when there is no chance of any more freezes. It allows the trees the longest time to settle in before next winter. Dig a hole big enough for the root ball and and water it in - try not to wash the root ball soil off the roots. Tread it in hard making sure there is no air left around the roots as airpockets can kill the tree. Don't put too much mulch around the base as it can develop some fungus. Make sure that your yard guy does not get near it with the weedeater as damage to the bark around the base of the tree will quickly kill it. Fertilize 4-6 times a year with citrus fertilizer when they are young.
