It is clearly species specific. There are certainly zone 5 Japanese Maples.
If you know the species, find out what its hardiness is. in southern Vermont
on lake Champlain the are examples that thrive. Rodger Kessler

Subject: [IBC] Japanese Maple in the northeast


Is it safe to leave a small Japanese Maple outside in the winter? It's
a new tree grown from a seedling this past spring/summer and I'm
hesitant to leave it out all winter. I live on the CT coast. Any advice?
