There is a beautiful fruitful lemon tree on the lot next door that is up for sale. I am almost positive management will cut it down. Can anyone tell me how and where to cut it so I can replant it?
Thank you.

It sounds like you mean that you want to move the complete tree to your yard and doing that would depend on several things.
First: you cannot legally touch the tree without express permission from the owners or the real estate agent that is handling the property (preferably in writing).
It's possible the property is listed as such: citrus tree(s) on property.
Now, if someone comes to cut down the tree and they will let you have it then that would be the second way to obtain the tree.
As to actually transplanting it; according to the size, it may be possible to dig it up and move it to a similar spot in your yard. But I'm not sure how you should go about doing this - as to whether you should trim it first or?? I have read several articles about doing this but most were not mature trees.
If you are just wanting some pieces/cuttings off the tree then you can probably do this if you do it in such a manner as to not harm the tree.
It really does not matter which you wish to do it would be a much better idea for you to contact your county extension agency and ask for their advice as they are experts in this type of gardening.
You can contact them and explain what you wish to do and let them give you instructions and when to do this in your area.

Sorry, I may have expressed myself incorrectly. I am not going to chop down the tree. It is actually on my side of the property line. The neighbor who lived there before (she has since passed away claimed it as hers - we ended up sharing it).
Sorry about misunderstanding your question and I'm sure no one was thinking of you as 'stealing' we just didn't want you to have any trouble over a 'lemon tree'.
Since we do not know where you live and also, there are several types of lemon trees so some suggestions could be incorrect.
You can always contact your county extension agency and ask as they have all the information you will need for plants/trees in your area.
thetface,
If the lemon tree is on YOUR side of the property line, then how would it be legal for management to cut down the tree? If it is truly on your land, then you should be able to get a legal injunction to keep management from touching YOUR TREE !!!!! GOOD LUCK AND STOP THEM !!!
If you are planning on going into the yard and removing the tree that is illegal without the content of the owner. If you can obtain permission to move the tree then this one is good. If you can't I would take some cutting from the tree and start them growing again. I am sure you can ask if you can cut a few branches off the tree so you can start your own. If you have permission come a few of the larger branches around the bottom of the tree.
Thank you. Funny how everyone thinks I am a thief ;) There is no fence. It is actually on my side of the property line (just a smidge). This is a mobile home park so it does not "officially" belong to any resident. The manager has threatened to chop it down (everyone comes to pick lemons (without even asking) and the lady who lived at the house would fight with everyone about it).
