My own experience,
I have one Fatalii in a 8" pot (about the equivalent of a gallon pot), I am
over wintering it indoors, it is about 18 inches tall and produced about
25-30 peppers last year. I grew 4 or 5 Fatalii's in the ground last year,
they were all at least 4 times larger than the one in the pot and the
production was much much greater, when I pulled them up last fall I would
say the root structure would have fit in a five gallon container pretty
easily.

Here's my $.02:
I've got my Fataliis in 1-gallon pots, and they've been fine so far, except
for the whitefly epidemic, which, as far as I know, has nothing to do with
pot size. They produce more than enough Fataliis for my purposes. I don't
know if they'd produce more if I had them in larger pots, but if they did,
I'd be hard-pressed to a) figure out where to put them in my house, and b)
figure out things to do with the extra peppers.
