Fruits and Nuts: Citrus From Pot to Ground? Should I?, 1 by Ladyborg

I have these citrus (one is a lemon, the other a Satsuma orange) in these pots for about 3 years now. First year got a few of each, 2nd and 3rd nothing and compared to the oranges which we have in the ground for just over a year, they are puny. Your opinions? Should I plant the first 2 in the ground?

I'm in the South so even in these large pots, I have to water daily to keep the first 2 alive! I did get flowers and the start of fruit but they all fell off back in the Summer before they were even 1/4" long.
