Indoor Fruit Trees?

Question

I'm renting a house and don't want to plant a tree in the yard and have to leave it behind. Are there any fruit trees that would do well in a large pot on a screened in patio or indoors? Thanks! (PS-I really love cherry trees, but any fruit tree will do!)

Answer 1

Yes. Minature fruit trees.

Whisky barrel halves with the roller bottoms work great.
