Due to the freezing weather this winter, our Meyer Lemon got cold hurt although we had covered it as best we could. All of the leaves are gone but most of the branches are green. My question is whether we should prune the branches back that have turned brown on the ends or wait a little longer in the event there might be some more cold weather. I was afraid that if it was cut back and we had more freezing temps, that might do more damage.

I would always wait until all chance of cold weather is past before you cut things back. It won't hurt anything to wait, and if you do it too soon it could get more damage if you get more cold weather

Thanks ecrane. I thought that would be the case but did read that plumerias that have been cold hurt have to be cut back or they will keep rotting. I will wait and cut later.
