I'm in Cologne, Germany. The temperature at the moment is about 19 c. We've had a few days of 25 c. recently.

Am I doing the wrong thing by re-potting now given that the plant was bought from a nursery?

You should ask yourself why you would want to repot now. Is it because the tree needs it now (but I can hardly find any reasons what that reason would be) , or is it because you desperately want to repot? This is probably the worst time of the year to repot.

Thanks, for your message of common sense, lucR.

Yes, you're right. I did want to desperately re-pot out of impatience. I guess I've been watching too many videos showing nursery stock being made into trees that have a bonsai 'look'. Surely, I'm not alone amongst the beginners who feel this way. I guess it's all part of the learning process.

Trust me, we have all been there....( i certainly have in the beginning...)

The bottom line is, “What do you think is acceptable”? It’s your tree but if you are asking what looks best then neither the graft nor the difference in colour is attractive. So, if the graft/colour difference bothers you then I can think of two remedies: 1. plant the graft below the surface of the soil (as you suggested) or (preferably "and") 2. graft new roots above the blemish and eventually wack off the graft altogether.
