2 of the 3 are identical. One is the same species as the other 2, but a different variety.

No--they are mango. Propagated from seeds of mangos I bought at Walmart and ate. They are evergreen, make great looking house plants--but require a sunny spot, look similar in appearance to a rubber tree, and if ya live in a warm climate, they can be transplanted into outdoors and grow into a very large tree.

Looks like you could possibly grow them there. I checked your extension service.

I've grown them before--just have to cover them in freezing weather till they get about 5' tall. After that, they are fairly frost/freeze resistant for this area unless it drops down to 25 and stays there a couple of days.

They are really odd looking plants in a way. The leaves are so fragile looking, and one of the traits of the things is they have to go from one extreme to the other water wise. Water them till soil is really moist--then let the soil get just bone dry before watering again. It mimics the dry season--monsoon season.

Next time I prpogate some, I'll take pics of how to do the seeds.

Alabama is a bit North and gets at least in the low teens in a good year.. Extension service says greenhouse.
Funny, when I first looked at the plants I thought they were quarts and pints, sitting on a 2X4.
Leaf is almost identical in shape to a peach.

Mango.
Oops. answered before I saw Dons answer.
Of course they grow all over here, and points south of here.
