Fruit tree to espalier with partial shade?

I'm hoping to find a fruit tree that will do well in partial shade (it would be planted on the west side of my house which receives filtered sunlight due to a large but spindly tree). I have done a lot of research but am struggling to find a fruit tree that will do alright in the shade. I am planning on growing in a large container so that I can bring it to shelter during the winter, I've heard some plum varieties may do well in shade but I was really hoping I might be able to find a citrus or something more exotic since we already have an abundance of plum and apricot growing on our farm. Has anyone had good experiences growing citrus trees in partial shade?

Thanks in advance!
