Can Madagascar palms grown in zone 9

You can only try!

Chrysalidocarpus decipiens can

@Sunny756 welcome to Palmtalk! Some will do ok in Hudson, but a lot won't handle a typical winter. Silver form Bismarckia, Beccariophoenix Alfredii, and maybe Dypsis Decaryi (Triangle) may do ok there. If you are coastal that might help even out the low temps. What temperature did you see in the record-breaking February 1st cold front? The clossst station I found was Brooksville at 18F, but that's kind of far away and not coastal. If you routinely see mid 20s (well under 27 to 28) then you can cross off pretty much all of Dypsis/Chrysalidocarpus, Masoala, Ravenea, Marojejya, etc. My initial guess is your only reliable options are Bismarck and Alfredii.

B alfredii was too slow and tender in zone 9 south Louisiana…… I got them to about 5 feet tall over 10 years but they always looked bad. I pulled them out this spring.

Coastal pasco in the big freeze was anywhere from at freezing on the coast to just below for the windy event, but the cold starts inland from the developed areas during the radiational cold. Its all about location here, not far from me the crownshaft palms are all fine, mine took heavy damage the second night at 24, but i had 12 freezes, while the coast a few miles southwest had just the one- and not far below freezing. Triangles do well as do the other tougher ones but its a hard grow for most.
