I would plant is in a pot and give it better light. I'd worry about it
rotting or never being able to transition to soil if it is left in water all
winter.

Sorry for the cross posts...
Some of you may recall in the spring I was trying to id a tree, Prunus
serrulata 'Shirofugen.' (yeah, I know about a million messages ago)
As I was unearthing a spare bedroom that was filled with X-Mas packages,
I found the branch, and still had water in the bottle that contained it.
( how did that happen!)
It appears to have many small roots on it now. Since I live in zone 5,
the weather is already winter, and the ground is frozen. Although nature
has already taken care of this soon to be tree, and it obviously wants
to live, what should I do to help it along? Leave it and add nutrients
to the water? Try potting it up and move it to a better light location?
Bury it back in the corner where it was? Duh?
