When can I safely move my potted olive tree outdoors?

It's in a clay pot. I live on Long Island, New York. It was doing okay last April (2010) when I had it on my lanai in SW Florida. I moved back to Long Island in June, put it outside and within a month it was sprouting leaves like crazy. Brought it back in in October. Since December, it has been losing a lot of leaves. I water it sparingly about once every 10 days. I hope it can make it - I'm thinking maybe put it back out in April-about a month from now. But I don't know if it will last that long. I know I can buy another one, but this one has a beautiful shape. Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
