It depends on the tree. Some trees in containers or B&B have no problem dealing with cold temps for days at a time, while others can't take a single night in such conditions.
Generally, most northern nurseries begin to heel-in their excess stock around September or October and it
is unusual to see trees out of the ground and unprotected at this time of year.
