rmack,

Trim the airplane more aggressively on short final if you are having
difficulty getting the nose up. Slide in some extra nose up trim when
on short final, it will help. If you run out of elevator, slide in
nose down trim to get more effective elevator area but be prepared to
pull like crazy to take advantage of it.

It's impossible to get it "too nose high" on landing. Believe it or
not, it's okay to roll the tailwheel first. You touch down even more
slowly and have better control and less risk of a loss of control
accident on rollout. The slower you touch down the less energy you
have to manage during rollout.

All the best,
Rick
