can you get fall maple color on a tree in a box in November ?

Or do the leaves just fall in the mail?
Just wondering for people in the south, if there is a source for fall maple if you have ever used in the past for fall decor?
I mean decor PRICES too like 25 per.

I have never ordered maples just for the purpose of having them arrive in time for fall color.
You would have to try and time it out perfectly for peak color or just before peak color where ever the tree is coming from.
I have maples and I do get nice fall color when the growing conditions for that year and the fall cooldown in temperature promotes the best color.

I know it can be a bit hard to keep maples in some parts of Florida because its so hot there.
Are you asking just to be able to buy them for the fall color because they dont survive in your climate?

You might try some place like Mr Maple but I dont think you are going to find them much below around $40 per plant even when they have their late summer/early fall sale. The only plants I've seen around your price are whips at bonsai show vendor rooms.

Yeah, kind of wondering if it is something that can be done but OK, I see that price is above what is normal for a small Christmas tree or a couple of big poinsettias.
