white patches on bark could be slug.snail damage - we had a lot on a young cherry tree and found them all up the trunk at night
May have dropped due to weather, one of mine had dried out without my realising the soil was not retaining water due to ants turning it to dust
There is a recent thread with a few acer tips if you fancy looking back at itYou never know how far-reaching something good, that you may do or say today, may affect the lives of others tomorrow0 -
My first thought was scale.
However there is a very useful thread here...

A lot of suggestions about white patches, including scale insects, mealy bug and early leaf drop due to waterlogging....got to be something helpful on Acers there!0
