Do maple trees grow in hawaii?

Maple trees are not native to Hawaii and generally do not thrive in the state's tropical climate. However, some species of maple can be grown in higher elevations where temperatures are cooler, such as on the Big Island. The most common maple species found in Hawaii is the Japanese maple, which may be cultivated in gardens or as ornamental trees. Overall, while it's possible to grow some maples in Hawaii, they are not part of the island's typical flora.
