Any kind of fruit tree won't be well adapted to low light conditions even as an ornamental. I'd suggest something like a Norfolk pine.

Temperate zone trees require a cold dormant season in order to survive. Even species which have been trained as bonsai are kept outside.

You need to visit the Houseplant Forum and ask for some good tropical species.
