Buy one on M27 rootstock and it should be happy in a big pot. Thin the fruit though so it doesn't put all its resources into ripening everything it produces, otherwise it will start to fruit every other year, Never let it completely dry out and either give it weak comfrey tea or half strength tomato fertilizer regularly once the fruit has set.
