Composted cow manure can very strong if you use too much. especially a young tree. I would, either, repot using fresh soil and well composted, but less materials, or planting in ground with some compost, but using only a small amount until it is established.
Usually, in container, you will have a problem with pH. This can be corrected using dolomitic lime. Just make sure that when you add compost, you only add a little until the tree is mature enough to handle such nutrients.
