Default Re: Potted Tropical Fruit Trees

Let me be the first to welcome you to the group!

Any of those you listed will grow indoors, given proper lighting and temperature environment. Most will not fruit, though.

I have had several Calamondin orange trees in pots indoors that have bloomed and fruited. We use the fruit for garnish and condiment, or flavoring, for Filipino dishes.

I grew 2 dwarf cavendish banana plants indoors, near a bright window, in 15-gallon pots from 1974 to 1994. The bananas just kept producing pups inside, so in 1994, I transplanted them in larger pots, and kept them outside. That winter, I covered them with clear plastic and placed 2 - 100 watt bulbs inside the canopy for heating. In the winter of 1996, they froze. Should have kept them inside.
