dwarfing a loquat for container growth

I just received a small potted loquat that's only about 6" tall right now. Would it be possible to grow a fruit bearing loquat tree in a container and prune the tree so that it remains a manageable size relative to the container? (that's dwarfing, no? if not, apologies).

The info I've found online states the trees have shallow but expansive root systems and naturally grow to 15-30 feet tall and can grow up to 20 feet across if unpruned. My main concern is having the tree bear edible fruit.
