All three species of maple have deep, slow growing root systems so they
should be excellent for providing shade for hostas and not compete too
much with their roots. Unfortunately they also are all slow growing
trees, so it is going to take a while before they provide adequate shade.
By the way, very few nurseries carry Acer circinatum and Acer tschonoskii
ssp. koreana. May I ask where you found them?
