Kristen, seedling maples are the hardiest of all the maples. I once tried three different grafted maples and all failed and then put in a seedling after some consultation with a maple person. It's in full sun where the wind comes through and I don't think that it was much bigger than the one you have there. There's no guarantee what it will look like but here's the one I was talking about 25 years later.

It's one of my favorite trees.
