Default Tip of the Orinoco stem frozen

Good monrning,

For my first post on the forum, please accept my salutations from Corsica island, southern France.

Here is my problem :

This winter we had a cold spell and all the leaves of my 2,5 meter orinoco (one stem and a small pup, newly planted) froze.

I removed all the frozen leaves last week.

Today I noticed that the upper ten centimeters of the pseudo stem are grey-brown and obviously dead.

My question is :

1) Do I cut 20 cm of the the upper stem until I see the new leave pushing out ?

2) I don't do anything and only wait ?

The lower part of the stem (2,30 m) is still green.

Of course I will post some pictures as soon as possible.

Thanks for help,

Phil
