RELAX, sit back, take a breath...

You've had this tree for what, a week? Some trees react to changes in thier enviroment by loosing leaves, thats pretty normal. A pain in the butt, but normal. Yours had aphids, and to me the yellowing you are seeing looks just like aphid damage. Insect damage can take a few days to show, so I think your tree will be fine if you dont kill it by over-treating it! Trees are on a different timeline than you're used to dealing with, it can take a few WEEKS for things to reach a 'status quo' after something like a move, or an aphid attack.

Its POSSIBLE something else is going on, so keep an eye on your watering and dont overwater, and make sure it doesnt cook. Right now you're stressing it MORE with every treatment you throw at it. Let it recover from the aphid damage and the move, then re-evaluate to see if there's something else going on.

PATIENCE GRASSHOPPER!

RELAX.........
