It’ll be fine. Just leave it alone.

there is little reason to cut anything off a small plant..

i mean really.. its not like its hanging over your bedroom and going to fall and kill you in your sleep.. eh??? ...... [ now that would be a hydrangea... lol]

if its bad.. when the heat of next summer hits.. it wont be able to pump water beyond the injury ... and will wilt ... and so.. you will cut it off them ..

otherwise.. it will put out some green leaves. and add energy to the plant until it does ...

ken

the green you see in the pic.. is the cambium layer.. the vascular system of the plant.. it moves water up and photosythesized food down to the roots ...

a severely damaged branch will have significant interference with said processes... ergo the leaves will wilt in heat .. not enough water out to the leaves ... or very long term.. the plant cant store enough energy for next spring ... presuming there was only one branch or som3ething ...

sooo... both flora and i think its minor.. and not worth pruning off.. unless something happens next year.. and it starts wilting in the heat of summer ...

Ken thanks for all that info……I don’t know much about trees, but I enjoy learning. You and several others are very good at teaching.……never too old for that! Teaching or learning!
