Jeep: I'd cut it back now. If you cut it back now and train the resulting growth, you might have a decent crop next yr. If you wait till winter, you will lose most of one yr getting going.

OK, I will prune it. Know it has been 15 years or so since I was pruning peach trees. The central stem should be cut back to around ? Seal the wound or not? It has started hitting the high 70s and 80 right now. We tend to go from winter to summer real fast.

Cut it back to 24-30 inches. No need to seal the cut. We're the same way. Winter to summer in a day or two. Hope we don't go back but up here we are very likely to get another freeze. Would think you are pretty safe. But this has no effect on cutting back or sealing the wound.
