Hi. I live in Phoenix, AZ. Zone 9. Will these maples survive in the extreme summer heat? Thank you.

not so much heat as sun scorch. Grow in shade or part shade ( a little am sun good) and water and MULCH WELL If you use fertilizer don't use too much or the time release type at all. It will burn the roots in hot weather. Yes, you can, but try to create a "cool" micro-climate.

We are with the Japanese Garden here in Springfield, MO. We have heat as well but not your kind of heat. We have Japanese Maples and some years they are stressed by drought conditions. You have a Japanese Garden expert at Japanese Friendship Garden of Pheonix. Contact John Zerio at 602-274-8700. The garden is on north 15th avenue.

The trees were planted about 9 months ago in Mariposa CA. It gets very hot there 100+ or - and cold in winter. so far so good. I believe it is also zone 9

I live just south of Dallas, Texas and we don't have near the heat you have in Arizona. My Japanese Maples have lived, but have gotten scorched from the heat and wind. The leaves looked terrible until they finally fell off and new growth put out. It was in August of that year. I personally would find something else to plant. However a horticulturist should be able to give you a better answer. This is just my opinion from my experience.

I live in Mesa, so far I have had no problems, but mine are under our covered porch. I'd say as long as there is no exposure to the sun you should be good. Mine have made it through two summer seasons now. Good Luck.

I have planted these in VA. I started them indoors and then moved them out after acclimatizing them. All of the seeds I planted have sprouted. I have them where they receive full morning and early afternoon sun. They get a little wilted by mid afternoon if it is very hot but recover by evening. They seem to be pretty hardy--my dog trampled two of them but they recovered quickly. They have been in the ground for about 2 weeks now and they all are really beginning to take off. I show multiple small fruit on all but they are very small yet. I am thinking they will do well.

I would, and I will. Lost a young maple to a buck sub last winter and, try as I might, could not revive it in Spring. Pulled out and planted another and that tape will be going on very soon as Winter now looms with the best of hope. I would definitely recommend!

I live in Tampa, FL and I'm thinking of planting this around the pool decking. Has anyone had any trouble with the heat in Tampa? It will be in full sun.

Yes, no problem in Phoenix in the winter. It is only good for about 2 degrees F however.

I'm in zone 5. The tree was pretty small when it arrived last fall, but it lived through our winter, which killed other plants

I lived inland CA for 25 years. I understand the heat. I have them in Northern Michigan where the summer was under 80. The plants were slow until it cooled to 70 or less and then they went crazy.

I grew them in mid to late summer and it appears they did not survive the Minnesota winter as there is no life at this time. Not sure if they are supposed to grow until June. I also bought one in August that was mature with flowers and planted it. I wondered if it di not have enough time to root out in only 4 weeks.

I germinated mine on a damp, almost we paper towel on a shelf in my southern facing window. As soon as they sprouted, I planted them in small pots. When they were about 6" tall and branched out, I placed them in my garden outside. I am in northern Maine, zone 5, so hoping they will make it through the winter. I have read that they will survive in zone 5, but I've also heard that they won't. Springtime will tell. Hope this helps.

I don't know if it will grow in Phoenix, but it does grow beautifully in Rockwall, TX. We are in zone 8. Going into it's second winter and looking good.

I live in the RGV of Texas. I only have a home garden but am planning to attempt to gropw a little in a bucket this fall. Not even corn in the fields is growing well with the heat we have had this summer. Last winter was cold. I'll let you know.

I am in the upstate of SC, zone 7 and we were below 10 degrees several days this winter. I had 1st year kiwi in the ground this past winter. I lost one, the others have come up beautifully.

I heard about this and hear they reseed and grow easily in Mexico. They are in many Mexican recipes. I would think you would need a good hot summer season and a trellis situation. Save seeds and replant for warm season. Have not grown yet .

Zone 9 is within the growing zone for this plant (zones 6-9) and this is the zone for Phoenix/Scottsdale. See http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?kempercode=q280. I'm in Texas Zone 8 and the plant is happy growing on my fence in a lot of sun. You might want to watch how much sun it will get where you plant it as you are hotter than we are here. Asking the grower is probably your safest bet. Keep in mind it's a perennial and dies back when it gets cold.

Yes. We live in Reno, Nevada (USDA Hardiness Zone 7a) and our hibiscus plants have always survived. They die back all the way to the ground during the winter but always come back as strong as ever in the spring/summer.

I live in the Midwest and my lights are attached to an arbor on my patio. We had temperatures that reached 20 below zero this winter. My lights survived the temps and snow we had and are shining brightly as the day I put them out. You'll love them!
