why has my Japanese Acer gone like brown parer on the tips and edges?
Many thanks to all of you for your thoughts and I think you are all right. It is at present in a big pot on my south facing balcony which has had a lot of sun this year and as I am on the top floor it does catch the wind. I have moved it to the back corner where it won't get the sun all day and If I have the awning down it will be more protected. Thanks once again

yes I'd agree with that diagnosis.

I would transplant it into a large pot in the Autumn,
then you can move it about to shady sheltered places.
I have moved an Acer this hot summer like this.
We need a list of plants that dont mind being exposed
to hot, windy, weather conditions.
( Alright, I know it may be wet next year !)

If you live in a hot, dry climate like I do, you may have those brown tips and edges every summer no matter what you do, but you can minimize them. Salty soil or water--common from the Pecos River to Los Angeles, an up though the western Great Plains and Great Basin--will also cause those symptoms.

You're welcome, Chrissie! It's weird, though--when I first saw this question, I could have sworn that the flag indicated the U.S.

Combination of sun and wind..I would say.....I believe they hate both.
