Any hope for this Lemon tree ????

Meyer Lemon, about three years old or so. I think my problem was too much sun and heat. It was put on my deck where there is no shade until late afternoon. Dried up alot but I couldn't help it. If it wasn't watered every day, it got dry.

It blooms this time of year. You might be able to see blooms but maybe not in the pic. Very sweet smelling by the way. Branches have died as you can see.

What do I do to help this thing? Trim dead off, right? How low do I go? Trim the live growth to even it out? How low?

Should I put it in a more shadier spot next year? Under the deck where it's a little more filtered?

Thanks,

Greg
