I`m not sure why it happens but my tree had the same problem until it has matured. I believe it is insufficient water and strong winds. I cut mine off and had no further issues.
Mine is 7/8 years old, I've moved it to a less windy corner with the least sunlight but it's still producing sparse branches. When did you cut yours back. What time of year?
