Pruning

My tree was kept in a greenhouse all winter in central Ms. It looked great and even had one small lemon on it. Al of the leaves fell off before we took it out. Now it’s outside and the top part appears brown with no leaves. But below it is sprouting new branches. Should I trim the brown branches off or leave them?

Only prune if it is completely dead. It sounds like it could have been too cold, too wet, or underfed.
