THe new shoots sound like the roots starting new trees to make up for the los of the main trunk. I'd cut those and water regularly and see if I could get breaks on the main trunk again. If so you can restart the tree with what comes back; if not then you've learned a harsh lesson on procurring responsible tree sitters. Sorry to hear about this and hope you can recover; best of luck...
