My Prunus incisa has also lost all of it's leaves although it does look to have buds coming despite the stems looking fairly bare. Did all yours recover for the spring this year? Mine is in a pot and I have been very good at watering it over the summer as with all my containers, but I guess it could still be lack of water if it's a very thirsty plant.
My hunch is that the prunus would be a lot happier in the soil. Is there any chance of that? I'm in East Anglia, my incisa is now in its sixth year or so, and looking good at the moment.
@amanda.rolandroland-have you got a photo of your tree, and how long has it been in there? Trees in pots, and their watering, can be difficult, especially in long dry spells, and it's multiplied many times over if the tree has been in the same container long term. Soil needs to be replaced etc, and even when watering happens, it's often not enough.

Thank you for your responses. It hasn’t been in the pot that long. Approximately 7months. It is a very large pot too. It will eventually be planted out but I am not ready to plant up the border that it would be going in for a while. Garden is quite a substantial project. Hopefully picture is attached.
Difficult to see clearly @amanda.rolandroland, but has it been planted deeper than it was in the original pot? It looks a bit 'buried' which wouldn't be good for it.
