Thanks Carl & Matt,
I went ahead and cut off about half the roots and about a third of the foliage.
I can keep them in the cold frame for a while. It's on the north side so it doesn't get much sun, but it's plenty humid. Spring in Maine isn't very arid anyway.
Thanks again for the advice!

Hi Attila,
No, I'm not sure they're shimpaku. I "pre-bought" them on ebay last fall and just had them shipped. When I emailed them to tell them to ship, they told me the ones they had (which were supposed to be shimpaku) didn't survive the winter and they had ordered replacements. I got a really good deal, so I don't mind if they're not shimpaku, but it would be nice to know.
I'll email them and find out.
Best,
Kevin
