Some are small enough to be grown in a large container! The best way to get them is contact the nearest specialist fruit tree grower. They will be grafted trees and the grower will be able to advise which rootstock would be best for your area. You may need to order them for next season, it is unlikely they will have any on hand. Garden centers sometimes have some but they may not be as good as ones specifically chosen for your area. Either way works. Apples, citrus and most Prunus species (peach, plum, etc) can be dwarfed that I know of. There are no doubt more. They can give good yields for their small size.

And they tend to bear quicker than the larger trees and are easier to pick and care for. It's a win all the way around.
