Forgot to mention we had a lot of heavy rain around one to two weeks ago! which it's never experienced as it had been kept inside at the garden centre and for a week when I 1st got it. Also upped the nutrients to full strength 1 week ago i was only giving it half strength before that.
 
Here are some more photos of rest of tree if helps. Thanks in advance

Rainfall would not normally cause this type of symptom in UK .
We have had some hard frosts lately so that is the probable cause. You should keep it in a sheltered spot until it acclimatises to being outdoors and dont kill it with kindness by overfeeding !
 
Also going with frost damage, a tree in that stage should be shuffling when frost is predicted.
 
Thanks all. Yes we had a frost last week. So after everyone saying that's the problem I'm going with that. I'll move it inside if another frost comes along.
