i live in a hot climate where temps in summer average 32-36 degress celsuis with high humidity. I have one japanese maple which im trying and so far it has survived the summer but it has been kept under moderate shade cloth to prevent leaf burn. not sure what sort of colour ill get in the fall and if it will go fully dormant but so far so good. I think its worth trying but proberly worth not spending too much money on one
