How come this one is ok then.Hubby put some beer on it and it is beautiful this year..will beer help my other poor little thing??I know it's a different variety but I wish I knew where it went wrong..(sigh)

 

Thanks folks. We have another too a lot smaller. The large one does howeverget a bit scorched in full sun when it's been in leaf for quite a while I seem to recall. Is it getting too much sun do you think?

Krafty,
That green one's a beauty too!

Japanese maples in pots need watering more often and are inclined to show leaf scorch more than those in the ground
You could always buy it an umbrella for those very few days when it actually gets warm
