Rowdy -

I am in SC PA and am growing Meyer Lemons on miniature root stock with no problem in a 5 gallon planter. I just bring them inside before it gets really cold out. The lemon is hardy to approx. 20F, I think. I also have an orange that isn't quite as hard, but no problem down to approx. 30F last week. Harvesting your own lemons is pretty amazing.

You're not going to get lots of 'em of course and the selection is limited, but you can definitely do it. edible landscaping will send citrus to most states outside TX, FL, HI, and a few others. I did look into avocados but I don't think there's any ones grafted to miniature root stock - they also take a pretty long time to bear fruit.
