Myrtle
My 6/8foot tall Myrtle was hit by the recent cold weather and looks brown and dead. Should I just leave it till next year or cut it right down or prune to shape. Photo attached
I look forward to your advice

I've had a myrtle for 20+ years that has gone through all those winters until now.
The recent bitterly cold weather left mine looking quite like yours, but I found that stems are still green and therefore alive. I trimmed back all the stems with dead leaves and though it looks quite sorry for itself at the mo, I think it'll be ok.
I've given it a mulch and some seaweed meal to help it recover
