I wouldn't say most don't work. We have a few native maples and japanese maples in my area but you may be right with Acer pensylvanicum. Maybe the reason I haven't seen it is it's a not suited for our hot humid summers. I'll be sure to check into it though. I'd love to see the fall colors of your tree if you get a chance to share any photos this fall. Thanks for introducing me to Striped bark Maples
