I have 2 lemon trees in pots on a sheltered patio. These trees were planted by my grandmother from seeds about 5 years ago from lemons that came from an unknown variety which is about 10 feet tall at maturity. This summer the lemon trees really took off! I was going to plant them out in the ground in the spring but they are growing soooo fast now that I am thinking about planting them now. They are about 4 1/2 feet tall now and growing! Should I take measures to curb their growth until the spring or should I just go ahead and plant them in the ground now and do my best to protect them over the winter?

I live in an area that the trees would require a lot of due dilligence to overwinter them. It is the High Desert in Southern California where we often get VERY fast winds and the nights can often be in the teens followed by days in the 60s. The area I live in is just like Las Vegas.
