If you can provide shelter on the windward side for the Japanese maples you will be OK. Mine get
some exposure to North and east winds but I have a larger shrub on the North side and a an open
trellis on the east, with honeysuckle. You could also move the container in winter to a more
sheltered spot.
I also have a Japanese cherry - Kojo-no-mai which is well worth having.
