Default is it posible to plant maple trees in Mexico?

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.


Acer truncatum or shantung maple may work for you. It seems to be more heat
and drought tolerant than other maple species. You could also try a maple
look-alike, Liquidambar. They do well in zone 9 and 10 in SoCal, so should
be OK for you.
