The cultivars 'Singapore' and 'Ziman Pink' are considered dwarf Jackfruit varieties; 'Black Gold' can also be kept under 8 feet.
You'd want to grow them in as large a container as you can possible move.
Now you just have find these cultivars! 'Black Gold' should not be that difficult, but you might have to search around a little harder for the other two.
I took Gary's advice a year ago and obtained a Gold Nugget. It will produce fruit weighing in only around 12lbs...something we thought would be more suitable for a packed greenhouse. The tree went from an 18" stick last May to quickly become the largest tree in the greenhouse. I pruned at least two feet from the top and all of the branches and some of the lowest ones. I wanted to slow down it's upward growth hoping to achieve a stronger framed plant. At this time, the trunk is nearly 2" thick and the plant itself about 6' or so.
Boy...as fast as this has grown, you will eventually need a very large container. I would guess that it will get too large to be moving in and out if you are in a more northern zone. Of course, I also guess it would be possible to be more aggressive at pruning...sort of making it into a very large bonsai. Will it fruit? It better! I'm told it won't start fruiting until the trunk reaches 3-4". Go for it!
I don't believe you will. The trees themselves are very beautiful and I'm sure you could maintain the tree any shape you wanted. Erik, from Pine Island Nursery, told me they handle pruning very well. I'm sure root pruning could be done as well within reason. You'll just need to build a greenhouse around it!
