I am writing a novel and hoping someone can tell me if it is possible for a Sugar or Rock Maple to grow in Northern California. The research I've done so far doesn't really indicate one way or the other. I'd like to know specifically whether or not a tree could take root and mature to the point that it would be very sizeable. I realize it may not produce a lot of sap, but I am hoping such a tree would produce the autumn colors, and that it wouldn't be altogether too rare. This is a detail I'd rather not take creative licence with. Thanks for any help.
