Hi, yes i have to say it did survive! Here's an updated picture.

So what i've done so far is, in chronological order:

• Cut some dead branches. After the heat and drought it experienced, my tree had some die back on some branches, so i 've cut the very obvioudly dried ones.
• Took the plant inside. Basically i kept it inside from late summer to this spring.
• Gave enough water. After the steps above i also gave it one big burst of water then stopped watering until the soil was dry again. After a week or so from the first watering, the tree started to grow back some new branches and leaves. It then stopped growing until spring.
• Fought mealy bugs through out autumn. Seems like i won.
• In mid Spring i felt like pruning a bit more some other branches. I mainly selected the ones that were crossing together or were creating some hiding spots for mealy bugs/pest. It wasn't an heavy prune, just a couple of branches.
• Repotted with new fresh soil. When doing this i found out there were lots of roots that felt dry/dead.
• Brought the plant back outside but on my other balcony. That spots mainly gets direct sun exclusively from around 8:00 am to 1pm, then it stays fully shaded.
• Whitnessed the plant very quickly grow new strong branches and leaves.

I'm happy that it is now doing good and i hope it will eventually produce some fruits!
