Hello brains trust!
My concerns about my grafted, dwarf flowering gum are growing by the day, so I figured I would plead for advice here.
She’s turning yellow!!!
She went in the pot in early March I know not ideal however we are renting and we planted the tree on my placenta and I wanted the option of moving it.
We put about 25cm of river rocks at the bottom of the pot and covered it with a quality native potting mix.
We are just north of Coffs Harbour NSW
What can I do to save her? (Or is she fine, it’s just getting cold and I am just anxious)
Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

Being only a month in the current pot, it might be transplant shock combined with winter coming. It doesn’t look bad but hard to tell without before pictures.
Coffs it shouldn’t be that cool yet? The day length is shortening tho. even though they’re not deciduous they do react to day length and changes in soil temp in their root zone.
If it’s not already, I’d move it to the most full sun location you have, water its roots with seasol, and water the foliage with liquid native plant fertiliser to give it a kick.
If it continues to decline you might consider an iron chelates treatment in case it’s phosphate toxicity.
