Default japanese maple

Hi,

I have a Japanese maple tree thats about 2 years old, but I seem to have
problems with the leaves at the end browning and withering slightly every
summer.

Take a look :-

What could be the problem here? Lack of iron? Wrong type of compost? Its
in standard compost not ericaceous.

Thanks
Jeremy

Lack of water, windburn and sun scorching are the usual causes particularly
on the darker leaved varieties.
Best positioned out of wind and in semi shade.
