Hi bedbug, welcome to the forum.
Got a digital camera? Maybe post some pics for us to get a better idea.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
Its usual for them to turn yellow when you transplant them (need to acclimate to the new climate (soil structure, sunlight, wind...)). As long as you didn't plant it too deep, it should be fine.
You can use Potassium Silicate and kelp to help with the transplant. If you feed too much Nitrogen, it can do more harm during the transplant than good.
Check new emerging spear at top of trunk. Give it a tug and see if it releases from trunk.
If it pulls, treat for pests and use a copper fungicide in the top.
