I always forget about this issue until I'm trying to move my household (like now). This has been a chronic problem for me for ages: I can't move trees into household inventory (in build mode). Best I can do is take some fruit from the trees to replant at the new house. I'm surprised there aren't more Me Too's on this one.
@PandoraTO are you also on Mac? I am on Windows and just moved my sims to my new lot and was able to put their harvestable trees into their family inventory and place them on the new lot. Though I tend to use the back space key to put them into my inventor, but I just went in and checked and I do have the option to put them into the family inventory even without using the back space key. I tested with a lot of different trees, including the money tree, forbidden fruit trees and the plasma fruit tree. Do you remember where you originally got the fruit to plant the trees? i.e. they weren't debug cheats or ones that were found dumpster diving were they? I know especially with the latter (things found dumpster diving) there can be issues with ownership.
If that doesn't work, try creating a room with the plants you want to move, save that to your library and then place that room when you get to your new lot. I've done that before if I've wanted to have some harvestable trees (and plants) in a build.
Best regards,

I am not on a Mac and still experiencing this issue! 🙂
