If the cutting was "planted" in November, and it hasn't shown any growth by now it likely has either rotted or dried up. Did you plant it in a pot or outside? If it is in the ground you may still have a chance. If it is in a pot inside, I would dig it out and see what happened.

it is planted in the ground (underground). not in a pot. I am remaining hopeful!!

Junebride,
yes your ground similar to my area is probably still cold enough not to let it sprout , it may have small roots you never know and getting ready.
Let us know what happens!

Martin is right. If it was in the ground, it may yet come up. My in-ground trees are just showing buds now. The ground remains colder and they are later to start showing growth then those in pots. My potted trees already have several leaves at each tip and small breba fruit forming. Give it some more time.
