Dead Acer Help!!!!!!!!?
Its difficult for me to give a definite answer for "shriveled up" leaves but I can tell you a few things that may help.
As you may know an acer is a maple tree. It really needs to be planted in the ground but if you are going to keep it in a pot it will need to be gradually introduced to sunlight till you can have it get at least 6 hours a day. Also, you need to give it more water. Dry soil is not good for a tree in a pot. You need to check it often to see when the top 2" of soil is dry and then water it. It will also need fertilizer and very possibly need re potting. If its drying out quickly it definitely needs re potting. A tree needs lots of room and soil unless you are going to Bonsai it. Hope this helps
