Lemon/Lime combo plant; lost leaves

Hey guys,

So I bought a "Cocktail" tree last fall, one of the small patio plants, essentially it's a planter with a Lemon and a Lime together. Including pot, the whole thing is about 2.5 feet tall. It did ok over the winter, however, especially near the end of winter, it lost many of it's leaves--they hardened and dried and just fell off. It still has healthy looking leaves, mainly around the tips of the branches, but the whole of the branch other than this is pretty bare and the leaves have not yet grown back. It's been outside now for maybe a week and a half, and it seems to be doing ok.

My question is, should I prune back the branches or see if the leaves grow back on it? It looks pretty sad right now with it's mostly bare branches, though it's been many months since it lost the leaves. Thanks!
