How To Care For Giant Spanish Dagger After Frost Damage

Question

I am in central Texas and this past winter was nothing like I can ever remember. We have a rather large Giant Spanish Dagger and a lot of the leaves are still in tact with some yellowing. On one particular side, middle, towards top, the leaves just pull off with a light tug. Most are green but still just pull off. Should I pull off all the ones that are loose? I have trimmed the leaves at the base that were yellow. It is over 20 years old and I want to save it. Even if it doesn’t look good for now. I just want to know the proper way to trim it without distressing it further.
