hello i just re-potted this tree seedling . and found that leaf edges yellowed a few days later . see attached photo please. what is the cause?
Because the yellowing and browning are starting from the leaf tips and edges, the cause is likely one of the problems discussed in this article:

Make sure the soil is well drained and that water draining out through the drainage holes is discarded so it does not absorb back into the soil- that can cause salt buildup. Also avoid overfertilizing, because excessive fertilizer can "burn" the plant, causing yellow or brown leaf edges.
I have neem oil. I don’t have an organic soap solution. How to use this safely with the plants? I just fill a spray bottle with water and add a drop or two of neem oil and spray on plants, because I don't want to use any dishwash soap. What do I do?
It is best to spray neem oil OUT of direct sunlight. Follow all instructions on the package, but I usually use a teaspoon to a spray bottle of warm water. Here is an article for more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm
Your neem oil should have instructions. If you purchased a generic, no instructions container, I wouldn't use it since you don't know the concentration. Here is an article on neem oil use. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm

Something is eating my plant. I live in Auburn Wa and I have had this plant for over 10 years. I just don’t know what to do, I have never seen anything like this!
The usual suspects for this type of damage are rodents - squirrels, chipmunks, mice and rats. Garbage or a bird feeder may be attracting them. Call the King Co. Extension Service for up to date info on problems in your area and control measures.
What are safe organic thrips Control methods?
There are many. Personally, I use a mixture that is effective against thrips where other pest control methods just can't get rid of them. I mix a few drops of the following in warm water into a spray bottle: Rosemary oil, neem oil, chrysanthemum extract if possible.
