One big minus for us about living in an apartment is the lack of outdoor space for gardening. We like the thought of toiling the land and eating the fruits of our labor (literally), so we're all for any opportunity to bring edible plants indoors. Our local nursery has a variety of dwarf citrus plants, but if you're thinking of branching out a bit from there (oh the pun possibilities!), we've found a great article on other types of fruit plants that work well indoors.
Indoor Fruit Plants
The Martha Stewart Show
For instance, did you know you can grow cinnamon and coffee plants? What a great way to leave a yummy smell in your home without resorting to an artificial fragrance or, you know, actually baking. Martha also gives advice on papaya and some citrus varieties, so there are lots of good tips to cull.

I've been doing lots of research on this... I'm planning on picking up a Meyer's or Lisbon lemon tree locally, and I'm going to order a grapefruit and olive tree, too!

So they're all pretty high maintenance, huh? :(

Yes--I have a Meyer lemon & it's the most finicky thing around! But I think it's worth it, because it smells so good & the lemons are fresh & year-round.

Does anyone know where I could find that beautiful orange flower pot in the picture? Such a vibrant color! I am in love!

I can't get my dwarf Meyer lemon to give fruit, not easy at all.

I've got a dwarf moro blood orange indoors, it has beautiful dark glossy leaves. The humidity in my place is a bit low so my blossoms are short lived. But it smells great, oddly the leaves kind of smell like.....a newly opened box of fruit loops...
