I live in south eastern Ontario, Canada.

I plan to buy a maple (Acer L.) (Acer L.) (probably red maple (Acer L.) (Acer L.) but not 100% sure) from a local
landscaping place. Their maples (Acer L.) (Acer L.) are roughly 10 feet tall in 24-36" diameter
pots.

Is timing crucial at all? should I wait til next spring? No difference?

, late fall to winter.

Or spring, depending on where you are. I like spring planting in Maine
because of the cold. Also like bare root saplings.

Our church planted a Japanese Red Maple this summer and the Japanese
beetles did a job on it, so another reason to wait for fall or spring.
You really want root growth before you want leaves. So prune fairly
heavily with spring planting.
