DO NOT PUT THE TREE OUT INTO FREEZING WEATHER. YOU WILL KILL IT.

This appears to be a tropical of some sort to me and freezing weather is deadly to them. Even if it is not a tropical and possibly a temperate zone tree, it is in full leaf and unprepared to "toughen up." Temperate zone trees are well prepared to handle winter, but they require six months of preparing themselves to do so. Dormancy does NOT happen overnight.

It would be best to keep this tree indoors until the danger of frost and freezes has passed and temperatures are night remain RELIABLY above 45 degrees F.
