Planted A Bare Root Tree Last Fall And It Looks Like A Dead Twig But Want To Make Sure

Planted a ginkgo, honey locust and an American beach tree last fall. They look like brown twigs sticking out of the ground no taller than when I planted. I should know they are dead you would think but I had planted a pecan tree, it looked dead too and just when I was going to dig it up a little sprout came out the top so that is why I am asking to see if it is for sure dead. Of course I am getting the runaround from the nursery who wants me to jump a few hoops to get a replacement.
