of maples in any
stage of development.

WWW.MOUNTAINMAPLES.COM is the best source I know of
for
maples. Your major problem is that Zone 9 is pretty
warm
for almost all maples. A. palmatum will NOT thrive
in those
climates -- at least not in pots.

The trident maple probably will do OK, but no better
than that.
