So no one knows where I could get online nursery stock of shimpaku? I have seen a website or two but I don't know if I could trust them. Anyone Bueller Bueller ?
Buying online is usually not a good idea... you will probably get an overpriced young plant. I honestly can't believe you can't find Shimpaku. Where in the U.S. do you live? maybe they don't do well in your area?. I see them everywhere in the northeast. Here in Vermont there are plenty planted at my workplace, banks, houses, etc... In boston where my sister lives they are also everywhere. I recently visited western new york (north) and everyone has them too. It is a very common plant around here.
