I would just add to Jim's observations and suggestions, that if it
continues to rain (like it has been doing here in NJ) to cover the soil
with Alumnum foil for at least half the time (every other day). This
wll help stopping the roots from being flooded.

Should I lift them out to look at the roots?




Hard to say. Having just gone through a workshop and had half of
the rootball cut away (which may have been a bit excessive) it is
unlikely you can lift these from their pots and have the rootball
stay together.

I _think_ I'd leave them alone for now. Your trees may just be
expressing their shock at losing half their roots.

The thoughts of others would be appreciated.
