You may have damaged the tap root. Give it time. They are slow growing trees. For several years, all it's energy is spent on root growth. You won't see much action above ground. Mine is probably 6 or 7 years old now. Last year it really put on growth. I think I bought it at Lowe's. It couldn't have been very big when I got it since it had to fit in my Wrangler. It's finally looking like a tree.
