Dwarf Japanese Maple trees are hardy in the northern states. i have owned them in upstate New York and in Michigan, and in both places the trees overwintered perfectly. These trees also seem to resist insect damage.

They are hardy once you have gotten past the establishing point. When you plant them make sure you backfill with plenty of good topsoil, then soak the tree with water. This will help remove any air pockets in the soil. If need be, put more topsoil around it after the soaking. After that, just make sure you keep it pruned.
