How little is little? Are the roots still there? If so, I would say definitely plant it and give it a try - what do you have to lose?
We had the same storm here in Rockland County. I haven't been out of the house to see if there was any damage around yet. Things look ok from my windows.
By the way... if you are in S.I., how come it says you are from NH?
Sorry abotu taht. I was referring to the town I live in, Salisbury, New Hampshire me and my buddies call it SI... see the S and the I in Salisbury? It's kinda an inside joke
The "short" I meant somewhere around 4 feet tall, and yes, the roots are still there. thanks for answering!
