I live in central Mexico in the state of Michoacan with a USDA
zone of
9 or 10.

I would like to plant some maple trees here but I'm not
familiar with
species that might survive here.

Does anybody have ideas or suggestions?

Thank you.

I'd guess that Acer rubrum, the American red or swamp maple)
would do fine down there. In fact, it may already grow there.
It has an amazingly wide range over Eastern North America. But
it does OK in South Florida, so I'd guess it would do OK there
too. Try to find seed (or plants) from the southern U.S. as
those from up north will NOT survive in your area.
