Japanese maple. Browning of leafs and new growth.

The leafs on this green Japanese maple that I recently acquired a couple months ago keep turning brown. New growth and hardened leafs. I’ve tried to back off on watering. I’ve tried to keep it out of the sun in the hottest part of the day. It just keeps happening at a decent rate to a new leafs every other few days. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! 

Any help?!?

Trees do change leaf from time to time. That is a normal cycle, just remove ugly leafs.

Do not hold back on watering on a maple in summer.

Do you have a spot with partial shade?

Thanks for that. I’ll keep watching it.

Yes. I have it getting plenty of morning sunlight and in shade for the heat in the middle of the day.
