I have several citrus in large pots (40 to 75 gallon) and have had good luck. I have a Meyers Lemon, ‘Centennial’ Kumquat, ‘Marumi’ Kumquat, ‘Variegated Pink’ Lemon, ‘Lakeland’ Limequat, ‘Ponkan’ Tangerine, and a Sunquat. All have fruited even though some are relatively small (2-3 feet). The Meyers Lemon and Sunquat are the largest at about 5 feet plus.

I fertilize time release capsules every three months and a granular fruit tree fertilizer in between. I water once a week in the winter and a couple times a week in summer. The Meyers Lemon, Sunquat, Limequat, Variegated Pink lemon have fruit and several are in bloom.

I also have a ‘Mallika' Mango, Barbados Cherry, lychee seedling, Mamey Sapote seedling and Black Mission Fig in pots. I have Dwarf Papayas in earthboxes that have fruited several times.

Below is a picture of my Meyers Lemon.
