these questions are often better answered by searching the freeze damage section.  Much more results that way.

Their hardiness can be quite variable, just as in their appearance.

Thanks,I might give one a go as I'm zone 9 that should be ok right?

Why no?  Only one way of knowing if they'll make it.

They might have a bit of a hard time with the cool, wet winters but I guess you'll find out.  @Palm crazy has one up in the Seattle area (Olympia) if I remember correctly.  Pretty sure it spear pulled the first couple of winters but grew out of it.  I've finally planted one in the ground this spring but it is pretty small, but I am hopeful.

Should be fine in zone 9.  Mules good to 18-20F.  If you need more cold tolerance butia x Jubaea is hardy to 15F.
