When is the best time to repot a Shimpaku? I think it needs repeating
badly.

I repot mine in the first week of Jan. For you I would aim for
after
the worst of the cold is passed but while some cool weather remains.

I repot in the spring, sometime in March. I wouldn't do any root

then repot next spring.
