    If there are visible damages then I would say yes.

    Dead parts will soon go soft and be obvious candidates for removal, any of it that is not squishy you may wish to hang onto to see what happens.

    They can tolerate light frosts that don't last long. Wait to see if any parts do go mushy before doing any pruning.
