I have the European windmill palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) growing in a sheltered spot in Kentucky. I'm also trying some saw palmettos this year.
Another neat thing to grow is the winter hardy banana tree (musa basjoo). I just cut it down after we have a freeze in the fall. It comes back up every spring and multiplies. It gets 10 or more feet tall each summer.
Good luck!

search Yahoo answers for "what kind of palm trees?" I saw that answered about a week ago. It also said banana trees are a good substitute

we grow them successfully in Vancouver BC...but I don't know how that compares to your climate in Alabama.
