You could grow a mango tree in a pot. It has to be on wheels so you can wheel it in during a cold snap. But I’ll bet you have enough sunlight for them

I have seen pretty big pots at garden centers with lots o mangoes. For sale for maybe $250 and you have a fruiting mango tree. But start with a nice $30 tree and you will get fruit the second year though maybe just 4-5. The little tree will need to be propped up so the mangoes don’t snap branches

If you are interested I’ll call up a garden center and ask what variety is best in a pot.

Papayas are just about the best fruit on earth. That and guavas.
