Sorry to hear about the tree being murdered. When we lived in Alabama we had close to 50 on our property. The ones that did the best were never cut back like yours. The ones close to the house that were trimmed back developed the knuckles and looked bad until the new growth came out. They never looked as good as the unpruned ones. We have 6 here and I will never murder them as they are not close to the house.
