I didn't know that - I guess I didn't think to look for maples when I
vacationed down there. I was too distracted by the hibiscus TREES dwarfing
the houses! :-)

Thanks,
Laura

Yes, I think you're too far south for red maples. Sorry, I don't have
any
good suggestions for S. Florida.

Laura,
Acer rubrum (Red Maple) grows down in the Keys. They don't look as
good
or get as big as they do as you move north, but they are all over Florida.
