dormant trees

Question

I recently purchased a weeping willow online and it arrived in a dormant state. I haven’t planted it in the ground because I don’t know where it’s going but they said to plant it immediately. How do I know if the tree is growing or did I do something to kill it? Please tell me what I should do?

Bare roots should be slightly moist when you receive them and planted out as soon as possible.
Here is a link that has growing information.
