Larch Needles Yellowing

I was given this larch by my dad for saving because a couple of branches died. Turns out he had it potting soil with limited/no drainage :( I repotted it in an appropriate medium heavy on pumice to promote root growth, but am getting some yellowing on some of the needles. New growth seems fine, but the needles that initially popped out in spring are what concerns me. It has received the same fish fertilizer all my other trees get so I don't think it is fertilizer burn (rest of the trees are happy).

Thoughts?

The color is normal for new growth as best I can see. Just watch the watering and yes as much sun as they can get. They’ll have a second flourish of growth a little later in the season so watch that as well. I trim for shape and style at that point.

Doesn't seem like anything to worry about, needles will drop naturally as well and as long as the new growth isn't browning, your tree should be good. Nice looking tree!
