Well, you'll probably have the best of luck with dwarf varieties or things that do not get past 10 feet or so. Like Jack Daw said, the larger the pot, the better. Right now, my plants are in 7 gallon pots but they are still fairly small (~3-4 feet tall). I would say eventually, you will want your plants in a 25 gallon or larger pot.
Here's a good site where you can buy large plastic pots for decent prices. Hope that helps.
