Actually Tom, if you wanted you probably could raise an orange tree
in a pot. I had a friend who kept a mandarin orange tree in an
unheated "closet" that had a window (room probably didn't go below
40 F). And he got fruit, but not much. Given your more northern
location (and less light and hours of light in winter) you might have
to supplement w/ artificial light. And I don't think a tree would
keep you supplied w/ 5 lbs a week :-)

Edible Landscaping sells a Satsuma Mandarin Tangerine. Supposedly
hardy to 18 F.
