Im from Massachusetts, but I like susieq's answer, my only adder is this transition is easier to deal with in the fall- winter move, a light frost or 2 isn't a huge deal at that time, but in the spring you have newer more tender growth, that will be affected, and now you have to hope the tree is vigorous enough to survive loosing new growth. The two step become a tradition if you grow these trees.

Welcome to the club. The cart is a good idea.
