It's rather hard to find these at the nurseries in DFW area.

Looks like Sooner Plant Farm has some for sale online.

Other options beside Caddo Maple - Shantung maples such as 'Fire Dragon' for its red fall color. http://www.metromaples.com/Shantung.htm

Mexican Sugar Maple available for sale at Stephen F Austin State University plant sale - October 5th starting at 9 am http://sfagardens.sfasu.edu/

Thanks for the info.

I might make the drive down to SFASU for one of those Mexican Sugar Maples. Do you know what size they are and their prices? If not I can email them.

I'm trying to remember the price and size. Rather reasonable for the price for the size which I think is 3g and 15 dollars? 4-5 feet tall? I planted one at parents in law's house last fall and it looked like it grew maybe 3 ft in its first year.

Forest Farm Has John Pair Caddos and Flashfire Caddo Maples for sale. Pricey to ship but likely one of your best bets. I haven't seen ANY Caddo maples available in the TX nursery trade.

Almost Eden has Mexican Sugar Maples to ship.

I haven't had any luck finding larger specimens of Caddo (John Pair, Autumn Splendor or Flashfire) or Mexican Sugar Maples in TX - 5gal or less is what's "available"

I'm interested in the Hiawatha Maple as well for TX testing

Bumping this thread to see if any other sources have been found recently.

I have some 1 year old seedlings in a bed outside. You are welcome to a couple next year if you want them. They are pretty slow initially compared to acer barbatum.

Also as an FYI, acer skutchii isn't hardy in my zone 7b climate. Still probably worth a try in Texas.

Thanks a lot, j0nd03! I would really appreciate a couple seedlings.

I placed an order on Almost Eden for one bigtooth maple and acer skutchii each. Hopefully they make it without too much stress. I know it will be difficult on them this time of the year.

Elektron, you still want some seedlings? I planted about half a dozen of them last weekend and the root systems looked great =)

Yes! I would love to have some.

I know this is an old thread, but I've been looking for Caddo maples for a few months now. I finally found some at Chambersville Tree Farms near McKinney, TX. They had Caddo, Bigtooth, and Mexican Sugar Maples, mostly in 15 gallon pots. It is an excellent nursery. chambersvilletreefarms.com
