I tried 'Partenon' zuccinni from Johnny's Seed this year. They are parthenocarpic and gynoecious. The plants started producing fruit even while they were quite small. I would think that they would be well suited to containers. I am really liking the uniformity of size on them too.

I have not tried any yet, but Swallow Tail Garden Seeds sells several container varieties:

I just planted some here in Fresno County, CA. Hope to have a few of them before colder weather comes. I have seeds for next spring and will plant them then.
