  We're quite good - but we're not that good I'm afraid!
  Need photos. 
  If they aren't uploading, try resizing them below 1MB. They'll load more quickly 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

  The photos are too small, I can't see if it is just mechanical damage (windburn) or if there is some nutritional deficiency (pale leaves etc.). How do you feed it and for how long has it been in that pot? If it is just mechanical damage, it doesn't matter, it will lose all its leaves soon anyway. Depending on where you are, it should start getting the autumn colour soon.

  It just looks like a bit of weather damage  sun/wind to me. It's quite common, and more noticeable on the dark ones. 
  Pix aren't great, but it looks healthy enough in the first one, and in a suitable pot etc.
  As @edhelka says, it's unlikely to be a problem as it will be approaching dormancy, and changing colour before dropping the foliage.

  Yes - if it's a bit exposed, they can get a wee bit of damage.
