As for lemons and limes, possible to grow in cooler sheltered (conditions) with lots of thermal blocks (jugs/barrels of water that are in full sunlight and can absorb and emit heat).
I was actually thinking of lychee or longan (rumbutan if I could a cultivar where the flesh doesn't stick to the stone). I've done guava with a few smallish fruits in a container. Calamansi in a few circumstances until I accidentally snapped the trunk of the tree moving it to somewhere warm. But would love some sort of dwarf lychee tree (or find a forever home with a sizable piece of land for a special greenhouse).
