I'm waiting for about 2 more weeks, before trimming all the brown. Probably will not get any fruit next fall. OH WELL!!!
I would suggest you leave your tree alone. It will drop the browned and frost bitten leaves on its own, and it will set more flower and fruit buds as the weather warms up. If you prune now it will interfere with its natural growth.
