Yes, maple leaves are fine. I use them in large quantities because I have so many maple trees here. Most are hard maple that yields a lot of "Curly Maple" wood. It's also good firewood. While I agree that containers give more "control", putting the plants into the ground gives more tomatoes and larger ones as well. Biggest in a container for me was about 24 ounces (Giant Tree). I've easily exceeded that with many common varieties.

Do a google or Bing search on "Juglone" and it'll give you a better understanding of which trees are dangerous to your gardens.
