    Hi
    I am having the same problem with my Acer – I also had the same reaction last year. I thought the problem might be leaf scorch. The main reason for this happening is when the roots take in less water than it can feed through to the leaves. I find it happens more so when it has been a very hot spell. Wind can also be a cause and as I have it growing in a pot I am getting more selective where it is placed according to the weather. Such a shame if it has to be tucked away, as they are such a rich colour that you want it stood in a prominent place. Good luck!
