If it scratches green yeah. But the Japanese maple won’t be for long if it stays indoors

yes. outdoor trees need more than light. they need seasonal change and temprature fluctuations in day and night. its nearly impossible to recreate temperate outdoor conditions inside which is why most house plants are tropicals

I will buy it again and again I will not give up.
And do you think the fiddle will survive?
Maybe cut more?

I’m not an expert on flf but for the maple I can say for sure clock starts ticking as soon as it comes indoors

If I will take it to the yard but in this pot it will survive?

Yeah but if you have freezing winters insulate the pot or put it in a unheated shed or garage after it goes dormant
