Inexperienced tree owner here. Sad and worried about our green friend. Tried some pruning late winter last year (early 2025) as it was sparse on the top; it never grew shoots from the points I cut. It does grow new leaves but only on the outer edges of the branches. It looks so patchy :(

Please help, I’m hoping I can make some adjustment to help it this spring if it’s not too late?
