musa basjoo leaves turn brown

The leaves of the plant turn brown at the edges and die. They do not retain the live green colour as they do when they first appear. I am in Victoria Canada and the plant is outdoors in a 16" pot. I have had the plant for 4 months and it grows rapidly but the leaves all turn brown.
