Dunno where Zone 5 is but from what I read hops grow anywhere in the
continental U.S.A. As far as using a container, I've seen a picture of a guy
growing them on his condo porch in decent size pots. I duno how big they
ended up getting or if they produced any cones, but they looked pretty
decent size.
