Miracle fruit works well for me. Also dragonfruit, mandarin, kumquat, lemon(lime), blueberry, strawberry(berries in general), sapodilla,

How big of a container are we talking about? Some people grow banana in containers. Dr. John Yonemoto grows mangos in 200 gallon "containers" in greenhouses in Japan.

Well, I need to fit it in an 8x12 greenhouse that's about 8 feet in height. I can grow mandarin, kumquat, berries, etc. outside as well as dragonfruit. Sapodilla might need to hit the greenhouse. I have one miracle fruit seedling now.

Miracle fruit, Ponderosa lemon tree, and piper nigrum vine are jamming in containers, producing nicely over and over. Also have a Sabara jabo that is growing very well and beautiful in a container, but has not yet flowered. Araza tree seems much happier in a container than it was in-ground. Oh, and my noni fruit tree is in a container, with a tap root going down through a hole and into the ground. Tree fruits like crazy.
