Here's the top view where you can see that the original tip is damaged, and tissue right below is damaged too, but the nodes keep pushing out branches below the damage until healthy tissue is reached. The only other alternative is to cut a few inches below the tip and let new branches form, and I've done that too. It is better to cut now during the growing season than later when they go dormant.
