Yes, here in Johannesburg they do fine.You need to keep them in semi shade
during summer
to prevent leaf burn but other than that they are ok.However Johannesburg
is alot milder than
some other places in the country and it gets cold enough(just) in winter to
cause maples to go into
dormancy.We even have them as street trees.
Like in Japan as bushe garden too
