That small I'd wait till next April.   You can tuck the pot up by the house till temps go under freezing then bring it inside in unheated garage preferably.

Ok Thanks , But i was gonna leave it outside unless it gets below 25F guessing I shouldn't do that since it's so young .

Agreed with Allen, don't go below 30 degrees.

Being that small of a pot I wouldn't risk the roots freezing.  You could place it up by the foundation in a existing bed and half bury the pot then fully mulch in the pot if you wanted to do that.  I'm not comfortable telling you to leave a small nursery pot out in that cold.  I do have a study I'm looking at that says the roots of Trachy get damaged around 22F and lethal is around 18F,  I'm just not comfortable letting that pot freeze solid.  I like to be a little on the safe side when I give advice on here.  I have left larger specimens out in roughly 25F in air gapped insulated pots but the palms were very large.
