Re: Need Advice!
I'm afraid you'd have to purchase one that's already fruiting then (that could be well over $50-100). They usually would be in 15-25+ gallon pots. Sometimes even then new trees like that could take years to fruit and them being in pots stuns their growth. They do best in the ground as they're meant to be. Not sure if you were wanting to take this to school with you or not. It all depends on the type of tree it is. You could possibly try a fig tree as John suggested, but I think their fruiting season is in the spring. I'm not too familiar with fig trees. You could possibly get a key lime tree, they fruit very small sizes and fruit all year round.. but can take months til the fruit is ready. They would also be one of the better trees to keep in pots as it's not often that they get over 10 feet. Though here I do know someone that has one that's almost 20! But again with citrus, you don't want to eat the first years fruits due to the pesticides they spray on them. Best of luck to you!
