Adaptation preventing red maple

What adaptation prevents red maple (Acer rubrum) trees and other native woody perennials in Wisconsin from being injured by extremely cold temperatures following a three-week period of warmth (temperatures well above freezing) in January? Red maple has a wide latitudinal range in North America (Newfoundland to southern Florida). Why would the same adaptation lead to poor or abnormal growth by a Wisconsin red maple transplanted to southern Florida?
