You may be able to, but as I have seen, the plant has lots of problems, such as it will sometimes switch back and forth multiple times between the male and female flowers, so you will get a patchy bunch with empty spots. Also, it can sometimes hit the ground in which case you would probably want to cut it. I suppose if you managed it and took very good care of it, you may be able to harvest a lot of small fruits over a long period of time, grow one and find out!
