I live in Plano, texas. I have a house facing east. I am thinking of planting Japanese Maple tree in my backyard. Wondering if Japanese maple can withstand texas heat, considering it's not going to be under a shade. But I do have fence at back about 7ft, and the tree will in the corner of NW direction, as shown in the image). But almost 100 % of the tree will get full sun from 11ish to 3ish.
Are there other varieties of Japanes Maple that could withstand sun better than others. Please suggest.
Unfortunately, the sun exposure you describe is at the worst possible time of day for a japanese Acer. These are really understory trees, meaning they will grow best being given dappled shade between the hours of 11-3 pm, so a taller tree nearby (but not too close) that provides those conditions is ideal.
There is information here http://www.metromaples.com/growing-japanese-maples in regard to sun sensitivity of different varieties - the green leaved ones aren't quite as sensitive, but even those will not appreciate that much sun during high summer.
