Hello Sharon,
Happy to help.
Plant it now. In fact, you don't even need to bring it in at night now. Here is some information about planting a new tree and some watering advice for helping your tree get established. That second link contains a chart showing you the number of years of watering attention a tree needs based on it's trunk diameter at planting time.
Good-luck!
