Metro Maples in Ft. Worth is the expert on growing maples in Texas and I didn't see sugar maples on their list.

Check out their website for maples that do grow in your area.

Thanks for this info. After I posted, I found a map showing the native range of Sugar Maples.

You'd have to be more specific of which sugar maple can be grown.

Here is a list -

Caddo Sugar maple from Oklahoma. - http://www.soonerplantfarm.com/plant/maple-sugar-caddo/
Mexican Sugar Maple - http://sfagardens.sfasu.edu/images/stories/PDF/acer%20skutchii%20-web.pdf
Texas native sugar Maple - Bigtooth Maple - http://www.lovecreeknursery.com/Maple%20Colors.html

Sugar Maple from the east will not do well in central Texas.

(Don't forget southern sugar maple (Acer floridanum) which grows all over east Texas and chalk maple (Acer leucoderme) which looks essentially the same and is also native to east Texas)

The southwestern variety of bigtooth maple (Acer gradidentatum var sinuosum) is native to central Texas and naturally grows in limestone canyons. It looks a lot like sugar maple and is probably your best bet.

The sugar maples that will grow here aren't the same ones that grow up north. The ones up north won't produce the sweet sap here because of the heat.

Thanks for all your responses. Instinctively, I knew this... but just has to confirm it.

I knew my Gardenweb buds could answer my question.
