Certified ExpertA.This looks more like an issue with overly wet soils. Soil will need a chance to dry out down to about 5-8 cm, thoroughly, between waterings.
I would apply a fungicide, and make sure to measure soil moisture if you are unsure of whether it is time to water or not.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I do suspect that your tree has been damaged by the moths, though. They can leave behind some nasty infections. Fungicides, and preventing the attack in the future may be necessary.

EnglandQ.Large Acer In Pot. Over Or Under Watered??
I have lost many an acer in pots. I know they have thin leaves and like a little sun in the morning. I have held back from over watering but wondering looking at this picture if I am getting the watering feeding right. It’s 5 ft and always looks good in the spring but as summer approaches I see these withering leaves. Any help would be appreciated. What am I doing wrong… 🥴

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, Verticillium may be to blame. This disease will prefer overly moist conditions.

August 16, 2022Q.Cinnamon On Tree Bark
HELLO I used cinnamon powder mixed with water into a paste to deter yellow jackets from their hole at the base of my maple tree i also had some kind of bee eating the area where a small area of the bark was missing. I also applied some cinnamon paste there. This chased off all the bees my question is will cinnamon hurt the non bark area ? I read where you can use cinnamon on roots for starting plants.. Thankyou

October 18, 2022Q.Why Does My Pacific Sunset Maple Tree Not Turn To Fall Colors?
I have a newly planted Pacific Sunset Maple tree (2020) which has experienced great growth, but for the second year, it has produced no fall color. I chose this tree for its potential fall color, so I am disappointed. I understand the drought might be a facotor here in Sioux Falls, SD.

Certified ExpertA.Cold weather and/or a drought can affect the fall display. These articles explain how fall color happens:
