Worried about my potted Japanese maple on a windy terrace

Hi everyone,

I have a Japanese maple in a pot on my terrace in A Coruña, in the north of Spain. I live on the third floor and my terrace can get quite windy sometimes, especially on stormy or coastal weather days.

I’m worried the wind could damage the tree over time. The trunk is relatively thin and the canopy catches a lot of wind. I also noticed a few dry/brown leaves recently.

Do you think the tree looks healthy overall? Should I do something to protect it from the wind?

The tree gets bright light but not extreme afternoon heat.

Any advice or opinions would be really appreciated. Thanks!
