Hi Claire,

Yes, mine was just a bare stump when I got it.  I think it was a couple
months before I started seeing new growth.  I don't know of any way to
check for roots without disturbing it (although I don't know if gently
lifting it to see if there is any resistance would do it any harm).  As
long as it's still solid it should be OK.  I bought 3 at the same time. 
After several months of no evidence of new growth, one got soft and I
threw it away.

Bonnie
