Did you move it when it was dormant or in new leaf? I moved mine when dormant and has done ok. I am only a novice but a bit of tender care and it will probably come again next year.

Thankyou for answering the acer was just starting to regrow hopefully if I leave it, it will get new leaves

Hello, if you moved the acer when it's not dormant it doesn't like it, but now that it's in it's final position just leave it and next year it should have the leaves come back on :-) Just remember to cover it up with fleece should there be any frost, to protect any new buds.

Also ensure it is not in a drought - they like a bit of shelter.
