  Most likely caterpillar damage at some point. Check the leaves regularly and ensure your plant is growing in optimum conditions. Not sure why your plant has a stake with sticky tape on. I suggest you undo the tie and if you need to train it a certain way, use twine instead. The branches need good air flow.

  Hello @Bluebelltime,
  
  I have a Tahiti Lime bush and a couple of years ago it was attacked by the caterpillars of the light brown apple moth (which is a known problem pest for citrus trees).
  So it would be worth going over your plants looking for eggs and wipe them off.
