Thanks - too little drainage? It's planted in a mix of compost, grit and John Innes no3, and the pot has holes in the base and a layer of pebbles in the bottoms of it. Plus it's stood on little feet to let the water run out of the bottom.
If I can find a suitable spot for it, may put it in the ground in a couple of years time.

Yeah too little drainage and the roots would rot but your mix sounds much better. We’ve planted a couple in the garden this year and I’m so paranoid with their progress I constantly take photos of their leaves to see if I’m missing early signs. Not helped by us putting them in sunny locations and chalky soil. I mainly bought ours for their autumn colour (the coral should go bright yellow, the other a vivid red) but it’s my first spring with them and they’re transforming daily... these pics are from the last four weeks...

Looks great but keep an eye on that acer, I’ve never had any luck with them in pots, mainly drainage issues.
