We have the young male (2/3 years) planted next to a lady of the same age in a large pot. They both appear happy with much new growth, on our sheltered, but sunny south/east facing balcony, and are well watered - Can anyone shed any light on waht is happening, would pruning off the bad leaves help?

Number of reasons cause these symptoms but the most likely causes are wind and sun burn,try moving the pot to another location where the young and tender leaves are less exposed.other causes are too much or too little water,or because there are 2 plants in the pot the healthier one has a better root system which deprives the other of nutrients,try re potting them in separate pots.

Without seeing the plants I can only guess. When the outer edges of leaves turn brown, it's usually a sign that water is not getting all the way out to the tips of the leaves. Do make sure that they are watered enough so that water runs out the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. Yes, you can use scissors to trim off the browned edges.
