Joanie providing that you do not anticipate frost then then i would say proceed as the tree tells you. Low 40's is not very cold and the tree will adjust accordingly. Err on the side of caution and place the re-potted tree under cover say below the house eaves or a shelter of some description at night. I would even suggest placing the tree in a styrene box. Elms are pretty tough especially the common variety. If leaf burst is about to happen then it is time. A bit like the birth of a baby nature takes its course.

Regards Ash
