the tops are dead but leave the trunks as you may well get new growth from the base . if and when you do you can cut the old trunks back and dont forget to rap them next winter being so cold .

Agree with Noseypotter, mine started to sprout elsewhere after last years frost. It might take a while though, you may not see anything in the Spring..

Covered them this year with wadding and it still happened...
