Susan,
I have planted bare root stock like that to little effect. That being said, what do you have to lose? I would say stick that stick in the ground. The worst that can possibly happen is—nothing.
Generally when I order root stock I like it to be moist. I have found that companies that sell dry root stock to be less than reputable.
But that is my experience and my thoughts. By all means, you do what is right for you.
