    Please provide with the information such as watering routine, sunlight, weather etc... – Spectra Jun 08 '22 at 18:54

    Most likely it's dead. Maybe not, but most likely. [Edit] to provide details (where in the world, how old, what size pot, and what's already requested above,) but don't expect miracles. – Ecnerwal Jun 08 '22 at 21:45
  • What kind of acer? – Peter Mortensen Jun 09 '22 at 02:19
  • Im in the uk Midlands- in terms of watering it’s mostly rain - sun its in sort of a bright spot bt not too much heat it did have keaves now theyv all gone can i revive? The pot has a circumference of about 49cm im not sure how old it is was bought a year ago, also i have no idea wat type of acer it is i think maple, it used to have red purple leaves – Khan Jun 09 '22 at 07:40
  • So presumably a Japanese Red Maple, as the "usual" small red-leafed maple in garden-center commerce. – Ecnerwal Jun 09 '22 at 16:28
  • Yes that sound right - newbie – Khan Jun 09 '22 at 16:35

Carefully scratch the bark with a coin or thumbnail. If it shows green, the tree is alive. Practice on a shrub so you know what you're looking for. More detail here, for example.
