Some of the Japanese acers also do not like full sun but more likely to be wind burn.

I find that the finer the leaf, the more prone they tend to be to sunburn and windburn. If it were mine, I would find a really sheltered semi- shaded spot for it to give it the best chance for next year. I hope it revives for you. They are such beautiful trees.

Hi, some maple trees don't like windy locations, so that may be an issue with the leaves withering. Can I ask, what soil did you pot them in? Also was the pot a good size bigger than the root ball?
