Whoops, did not read “balcony” before my response. So, green cooling is still on the table, but needs to be potted. Maybe a small potted citrus? Kumquat do great in pots.if it gets really hot though, you’d probably need a tray of water below the pot to make sure it doesn’t dry out and bake.
No worries, thanks for your suggestion anyway. It’s a good idea. I’m researching which deciduous trees or bushes may be appropriate for container growing. And yes, apparently citrus, even lemons and oranges, and peaches can be grown in pots.
If you have cold winters, consider planting a deciduous tree so you can have sun in winter and shade in summer
Good idea, if we can find any that are the right size for a balcony.
