It does need a bigger pot too - I'd suggest using an John Innes ericacous compost or John Innes No.2
If you can water it with rain water it'd appreciate that.
They're woodland trees and prefer some shade - it's been unusually hot recently, so leaves have grown quickly, and the strong sun is damaging the young leaves, even more so if it's windy spot - the leaves are under a lot of stress in warm weather and a relatively small pot isn't helping
