Dwarf fruit trees like other commenters said, they do really well in containers. We had two limequat trees in blazing sun in south GA and they were really happy, got lots of fruit from them. Limequat is a hybrid and the fruit looks like tiny limes, and taste is mild.

Smaller fruit trees would be good. In CO it’ll be high maintenance to do any citrus trees. If you’re in at least zone 6, bonanza peach tree would be good. Many dwarf peach trees have subpar fruit or just ornamental but bonanza has good fruit and grows to a max of 6ft. In the winter you can just leave it outside but you should winterize the pot itself so the roots don’t freeze.

I’m gonna ask a question here, what is it made of? And how many holes are on the bottom? If it’s the kind where you can add more holes in the bottom if there aren’t enough and you wanna get it definitely put more holes for drainage because I’ve noticed with pots like that if there’s one hole at the bottom, the soil just does not get proper drainage and you wind up with root rot or something else lol

I did a tomato plant surrounded by three lettuce plants and a couple of marigolds. In another, I’m doing carrots, lettuce, and marigolds.
