For that matter, can any other tropical trees develop to a decent size while still in a pot. Palm trees? Coconut? Papaya?

I like the aesthetics of large tropical trees, but I lack the ground to plant them in. So what can I do?
These are growing in a few meters of soil in front of our neighbours house ...
