Do you have any images of the tree?
How much of the rootball were you able to save (percent) when you transplanted?
What type of soil and container is it in now?
How much top growth did you prune away?
More information will help anyone else who may want to assist.

The soil is slow to wet and never dries

Can you clarify what you mean by "slow to wet".
My guess without more information is that you've actually watered the tree too much. Watering on a schedule doesn't always work because how much you water depends on the needs of the tree, the moisture retention of the soil, humidity etc.
In similar situations I've heard others suggest an emergency repot into nothing but coarse sand, but I'd let it dry out a bit first and see if anyone with more experience than I chimes in with advice.
Maybe with a little more info and a picture others will feel compelled to offer assistance.
