Crepe Myrtle Dormancy

Question

I planted a crepe myrtle last fall that was ordered from a mail order company. How can I check to be sure that the tree survived the winter and is still dormant and not dead? The area where the tree is planted receives minimal sun during the winter months, but slowly receives more sun each day spring through winter, from a minimal several hours per day to full sun by late May through August.
