Any suggestions to what to get?

I want to be able to eat them and I have been just finding deco fruit and that expensive hydroponic unit that they sell at target.

I don't mind if they need a lot of care. My apt is always warm in the winter and in the summer the a/c keeps it at 70ish. I get bright full light in the afternoon and semi light in the AM. my ceilings are about 10-12 ft high.

I would love a big mojumbo of a thing if it would work!

Have you thought about a dwarf banana or lemon tree? Some of them only grow 6-8 feet tall.

Yes! I saw a deco one on HSN or something like that... Are there any breeds of the dwarf ones that are better tasting etc?

Like how tomatoes can be different tastes/texture based on type.

I'm looking into getting a meyer lemon tree soon. I've read that they do well in containers, and are very prolific. Plus the lemons taste awesome!
