Pears do very well here, so Ill just except that apples belong somewhere else. They do show up on the stores, but usually soaked in shellac. Apples do grow in the mountainous areas of East Alabama. We had avacadoes in California--I used to ride my bike through an avacado orchard on the way to school. I doubt if they would grow in Alabama because of the humidity. In fact its even difficult to find an avacado that isn't over-ripe in the stores. They might grow in a green house. I have started some from the seed, but never got them to grow to fruiting size.
