When can I safely transplant a 10-foot cordyline from a pot it is outgrowing?

I've had the cordyline for about 8 years, in a half-barrell in our yard. The roots are showing at the bottom and the barrell is beginning to rot/break up so it has to be planted in the ground. Is it OK to do that now? after all, if I bought one in a pot from a garden centre I could presumably plant it directly in the soil.
