Anything can be grown in containers provided the tropical plants are grown
in tropical climate and the cold area plants in cold climate. You cannot
grow papaya in containers in Sweden. Please also remember that growing
plants in containers can just be a hobby or for specimens. You cannot plant
an orchard in containers. So these lists are meaningless.

I have either grown or currently growing the following:
Citrus, different types
Papaya
June plum (spondias dulcis)
Surinam cherry
loquat
Sugar apple
Cherimoya
Guava
Miracle fruit
Mango
Banana
Pineapple guava
Strawberry guava
I came to the conclusion that if you don't have a good indoor sunroom with
good amount of humidity or a greenhouse that is kept above 60 F, you will be
wasting time growing tropical fruit. Growing sub tropical trees are much
easier to grow and fruit such as figs, pomegranates, some guavas, loquats,
and citrus.
