Why is my acer losing its leaves?

Question

It’s a dissectum and in a pot on the patio and gets sun and shade. It has drainage but the leaves are all coming off, why?

Answer 1

How old is the tree? How long has it been in the same pot? It may need its roots pruned or need to be repotted in a larger container. It could have a pest.
