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?

Have you ever heard of Google?

On the outside chance that you are truly helpless,
"Most species are deciduous, but a few in southern Asia and the
Mediterranean region are evergreen. Most are shade-tolerant when young,
and are often late-successional in ecology"

Good luck.
