Default [IBC] Dormancy for Kingswood Yardsai

Hi all

Last spring I dug up a 30 year old Kingswood to re-landscape my yard. Nice
tree with 2 inch caliper and 24 inches tall.
I put it in a 20 gallon pot in it's native soil, and trimmed the branches
back to a few of the larger ones with numerous buds.
I didn't touch the roots.
It developed lots of new branches and buds over the summer and is doing
fine.

Last week someone mentioned that some boxwood don't require a lengthy
dormancy before they'll start to grow again.

My question is,,,, here in Zone 6a (where we've had a few frosty mornings
already) how long should I leave this tree outside before bringing it inside
into a sun-light room, to encourage new growth?

I'm rather impatient !!
