I really think with temps like that I'd leave them potted. They'll go into shock and may die or be severaly stunted if you plant em now. If you get a week in the 80's you'd be O.K. But this late in the game I'd keep em in pots and plant em next year. You should also note that your hardy nana will probably not get big enough to winter outside the first year. If you just really want them in the ground for the look you could just bury your pots and pull them up in fall.
