I have never seen any nurseries ok LI sell Japanese maole seedlings or young grafts. They only sell landscape trees obviously. Last fall got lucky at one nursery that was selling A.P.Shishgashira (Lion head), for $25 bucks. They had 2 which I took. but that is rare
I have found 2 or 3 reliable sources on Ebay. I have about 50 Japanese Maples.

I am in zone 9 and maples do fine here in CAlifornia.

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.
