Ackee Tree Prune

| My Ackee tree seems to have taken some cold damage to its very top area where the wood is brown, maybe dead...and not grey/green like the rest of the trunk. Should I leave it as is, or should I prune that part off? I'm leaning towards leaving it and seeing what happens, but any advice is appreciated. Below is a picture of the tree and one of the brown part on the top.
Thanks
Tony

| i would leave it too and see if it pushes new growth. if not by when the weather warms up and we start getting more rain, top it. |

I left it alone and between a week of warm weather with a little rain that must have made it wake itself up. Pushed out a really nice growth spurt over the past week.
