I have room for one more medium-sized plant in my bay window, and I'm looking for suggestions. (Fruity suggestions, of course.) The window has an eastern exposure, and gets full morning sun when the oak leaves are down, but only filtered sun in the summer. It also has a bank of fluorescent lights on a timer year-round.

My meyers lemon does well here in the winter, but goes outside in the summer. Ideally, I'd prefer a plant that could stay in the window all year, although taking out in the summer is a possibility. The pot could be a gallon or two, and I'd prefer the plant to be no more than a couple of feet high. (A foot of pot and two feet of plant would be perfect.) Another citrus would be fun, if anything fits the bill. I was looking with interest at the dwarf citrus offered by Stark. But it doesn't need to be citrus, just a dual purpose ornamental/edible. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
