You say the tree is not drinking. If you are watering it and the water
is all pouring out the bottom of the pot, it could be that the roots
were so tightly packed that they haven't got any soil left among them.
When you repotted, if you did not score the root ball, they may still
be growing around in circles the diameter of the old pot. Try using
a water wetting agent (I've heard of one available here in the west
called Water Wet) to get the water to penetrate that hard root ball.
Good Luck!
