Is it alright to leave a Redbud tree root in water?

Last Friday my son brought me a root from one of my favorite trees he received it from school, so i brought it home and since i havent had the time to plant it i set it in a pitcher of water. it seems to be doing fine and even has sum green sprouting on it. I was just wandering if anyone knew about how long i can leave it in water.

Hey Nina,





A couple days should not kill it. But, you probably know that now, since no one answered you.





It is good to soak bare root plants and dormant tree root stock prior to planting. One tree I planted recommended at least 12 hours.
