I find containers a challenge, but I am considering grow bags for my next round of planting.
It depends on the size of the container and how they are pruned. The Kellogg's Breakfast pictured below is in a 10 gallon container pruned to 4 stems espalier style. There are several on there that will be 1 lb.+. I have a Cosmonaut Vokov it an 7 gallon container pruned to 4 stems. It is overloaded with over 40 tomatoes, but it is against my nature to cull fruit. The biggest fruit on the CV has been about 8 oz, which I think is a little small for CV. The first CP was a fused blossom and came in at 10 oz. The CP is trained to three stems in an Earth Box. It is now loaded with fruit, so I don't know how big they will get, but I have a bunch that will be at least 8 oz.
