Default Prune it or leave it ?

Our new peach tree sustained some frost damage , and I'm not sure
whether/when to prune the damaged twigs . I've poked around a bit on the
interwebs , couldn't find an answer .

Wait til the frost season is over and the the tree is budding then prune off
the damage.

I'd leave it until it's in full leaf and all danger of any further frost
is past.

Keep an eye on those limbs and, if they appear to be dead, prune them at
that point.

There are several reasonably priced paper back books on pruning. I
bought one several years ago and it increased my ability to prune properly.

I've been watching the tree well , I've been watching them all ...,
damage is not as bad as I originally thought . When the tree is fully leafed
I'll trim it . Kinda odd , there's damage on top of some but the underside
is fine ...
