The only thing I would add to these suggestions is a
precaution on keeping the plant tto wet over the
winter. Soil should be moist, but not soggie.
Something like pumice, perlite, or Turface would be a
good medium.

Barb,
Are you sure the maple is not going into fall

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.
