Could you be over-fertilizing and building up too many mineral salts
in the soil?

You might try repotting it if you think that might be the problem. Be
sure and remove as much of the old soil as possible. I don't know how
sensitive a lime tree might be to water; but to save the over
fertilized house plants I rescue from my friends, I just put the whole
pot in a bucket of water and let it soak for several hours. It leeches
the worst of the mineral salts out.
