It is very hard to guess unless you tell us where you are, your
climate and
the aspect of the proposed site of the pot. BTW maples are
deciduous.

I am in edinburgh near the coast we dont get bad winters summers are
cool warm wet are any maples evergreen?

I don't know what the climate is in edinburgh and your description is rather
vague so I cannot give specific help.

Try the local garden club or nursery who will know more than somebody a
world away what will grow locally.
