Ho do I move this is it to late

Doubt it's too late.

It needs to be out of the ground for as little time as possible.  So, assuming it's not going into a pot, dig the hole it's going into first.

Then dig up the tree with as big a rootball as you can.  Wrap the rootball in plastic or other covering to prevent the roots drying out.  Transplant it into its new home as quickly as you can.

If it's going into a pot, then just make sure it's a big enough one.

Ensure it's staked properly for a couple of years until it re-establishes itself, as it won't be well anchored into the ground or pot for a while.

I think it might be a bit late down where you are but you could give it a go.I think that the level of success will depend on how long its been in that spot.If its only been in  a year or two the roots might not have penetrated far into the surrounding soil.When moveing it try to get as much of the roots intact as possible and dont let them dry out at all.If possible try to get the final planting hole ready so it can go in without delay.
If the roots have spread a lot it can survive if you have to cut some of the thick roots which are used mainly for stabilizing the tree but the small fibrous roots are really important as they feed and water the tree.Try to get the soil/compost to be as dry as possible as in my experience its easier to get it in among the roots when backfilling in its final position,giving the tree a gentle shake when backfilling will help it to get inbetween the roots.
If there isn't much of a root ball on the tree when you lift it or if you have to cut some of the roots it would be a good idea to give it some support for a few years until it gets established again.Finally give it a really good watering to help the soil settle among the roots and try to get the soil level the same as it was when you lifted it

Pa Lowe has moved our fruit trees at all times of the year (except if its fruiting) and at different ages. It seems to be ok though I think it is set back a bit as far as fruiting is concerned. Not had one die o us yet.

i would say you should see see some buds growing through within month or so if it has survived.

it surprises me how quick fruit tree's can recover after all the upheaval from being dug up and moved (the advantage to you is you know the tree was healthy and it has been out of the ground for the minimal ime.

Just make sure you water it well all through the summer, as it will take a year or two to get re-established in its new place.
