Your branch with leaves is at this point the leader, and most of the energy is going to the apex. Prune off the last(top ) 2-3 leaves and the lower section will be more apt to bud out. Good bright light will help, but not 5-7 hours in a window, bright window with supplemental lighting will help. Then again if you want, chinese chop in the bright warm spring and watch the new branches pop all over.

I'm thinking that the leaveless branches probably won't live till spring with no leaves to suppots the branch.
