I had one and it was supposed to be hardy for zone 5 but mine rotted.

It should come back in the Spring. During hard Winters mine freeze then die then return. If I am correct the tree section is below ground all the “stuff” that you can see is merely the “branch” and leaves. If the plant stayed overly wet in the Winter then it could have rotted it out.
