I agree that dwarf citrus in a container might be good. However, check
carefully to be sure the balcony can carry the weight. My citrus cannot
be moved except by two very strong people.

For more information, see my

You can buy a little dolly unit that goes under the planters,
so you can move them around.

My 83 y/o mom grew dwarf citrus on her deck in N. California.
She was able to scoot them under cover when frost threatened.
