Bare root Magnolia Standard

So we bought a bare root Magnolia Standard and it was planted out around two months ago.

We're just not sure if it's dead. Did the bark test a few weeks ago and it had green underneath so we thought there might be some hope. 

Should it have any signs of life now or does it take a longer period of time? - never had bare root plants before.

    Are there any signs at all of buds on the stems?  It really should have thrown leaves up by now.

    No signs of life. Repeated bark test today and despite being green a week or so ago it's now whitish brown so yes you're right dead
     
    Can't get a refund. It arrived two weeks earlier than we expected from T & M and our winter was too harsh this year to put out so we couldn't follow the instructions. They unfortunately wouldn't offer any goodwill gesture so we accepted a while ago we wouldn't get anything back. 

    Oh well better get another set.....

    Thanks for the replies much appreciated.
