I second the sungold suggestion! I grew two of them in an 18 gallon container, which is less than optimal and I had to keep trimming the tops because they were always growing out of reach. If I had let them go it probably would have been over 8 feet. They probably would have gotten much bigger if I had a larger container. It produced fruit for me all through the summer, even in the 100+ heat.
