Pittosporum Silver Queen in a pot dropping leaves, any advice?

I've got a Pittosporum silver queen that's been in a pot for 9 months now and it's starting to drop it's leaves . I've poked my finger into the soil which to me doesn't feel dry or water logged and It's in a fairly sheltered spot, maybe it's not sunny enough I don't know but having done some research it seems to be quite a fussy little thing as to the position of it . Should I get it out of it's pot to check the roots and re-pot it ? Any advice welcome thanks

Evergreens shed their older leaves in spring so it is probably just that.

My Pittosporum is currently showering my garden with it's leaves. It's a fairly large tree and it does this every year at this time.

Ah that sounds encouraging, thank-you
