Maple trees actually grow better with lower light until they reach a more mature age, in which case, they'd be too tall for most houses. Most saplings will shrivel up and die in direct sunlight, as they have evolved to grow beneath the canopies of much larger trees that block the sun. I don't know why so many "experts" say to plant them in "full sun"- because it has been my experience that they grow much better in shade, until they're a few years old.
Yes, absolutely. You can start your Maple tree indoors. Once it begins to grow, however, growth for some types of Maples can be as much as 2 feet per year.
