Barb,
Are you sure the maple is not going into fall dormancy and shedding its
leaves?
Collecting now is not as successful as in spring, but if the tree is going
to be unavailable than go for it.

I've collected many deciduous trees in the fall with equal success to spring
collecting. I suspect this tree is doing exactly what you suggest, Jerry--shedding
it's leaves. They tend to do that.
