With very few exceptions, if a plant can be grown in the ground in your area, then it can also be grown in a container! Countless balcony or rooftop gardeners can attest to that :-) And that is not location dependent.

Obviously, there will be some additional considerations to evaluate: size of the plant being considered (dwarfing rootstock is good), size of the container, soil media (perhaps the most important element) and watering and fertilizing needs will be very different. But there is really nothing that will distinguish whether one type of plant - or even cultivar of a specific plant - is more suited to container culture than another.

When selecting varieties to include, make sure you consider pollination requirements. Apples in particular will require a pollination partner but other fruits can require them as well.
