But you could actually try to force backbudding by hardpruning

You are absolutely right, most trees when hard pruned will amaze you with the growth that they shoot right back at you!~
My biggest concern was the fact that the trunk kept going to the right towards the actual broom. I kept the lower branch in the virt becuase the 2 different amounts of foliage on either side will create the illusion (I HOPE) that the trunk is tapering.

Anyways, hardpruning is a great suggestion!
