What to put on the balcony?

So the new apartment has a patio. I kinda hoped it wouldn’t so I wouldn’t be tempted to plant anything. But it does and I am!
It’s south facing but has a patio above it and trees 20 feet away that might cast shade (it’s raining today so I can’t tell yet). Zone 7b Atlanta.
Anybody have a suggestion for an amazing container plant for me? Preferably fruitful!

Would figs handle less than full sun?

I put a lot of container plants on my deck. Mandeville, bougainvillea,minirose, many varieties of Jasmines, gardenia, Camellia,Chrysanthemum, etc…

For fruits, you can have current which can handle partial share , and not grow too big

Well, finally got a day of sun and downloaded a light meter for my phone. The patio tops out at 700 lux, which the internet says is full shade. Oh, well.
The coffee trees are loving it so far, so I guess I’ll stick with them.
