If it doesn't rub off then it's not P/mildew. Looks more like &quote;mechanical&quote; damage such as wind burn. Some varieties defoliate when they are flowering in spring also.
They are very tough trees but not always happy in pots, in my experience, because they have big tap roots and a very vigorous root system.
