Hi all, I'm amazed at the wealth of info on the boards and it'll take a lot of reading. I'm simply trying to brighten up my apartment balcony with some potted gardening and I thought that I'd try to focus on fruit plants so that I could munch on some of nature's candy while I'm sitting out there relaxing after a long day. Last year I got the idea for strawberries and wild strawberries in hanging pots off my balcony and found that just by using hanging pots, you don't lose as many to rot and the like. I was hoping to expand my horizons and try something new. If anyone could suggest what fruits might do well in balcony pots that get pretty consistent late afternoon-evening sun. Also I'm not the most talented gardener (a lot of the technical info on this board already has me boggled) so minimal care would be nice but not required.
Thanks in advance!

I have tried ultradwarf Cherries, ultradwarf plums, ultradwarf peaches, ultradwarf apples, ultradwarf pears, and I can get them all from Home Depot, and they produced fruits for me and are planted in 13-15 quarts decorative featherlite pots. Care would involve regular watering and fertilizer. They seldom get pests and diseases in our area especially when balcony grown. You can also buy a battery operated (good for one year) automatic watering device from Home Depot and you can attach it into the outdoor faucet.
