If the main stem and some leaves are still alive, it will make it. Once you can see all the damage, trim away ONLY what you are certain is dead.

The root system should be intact and the plant will go into overdrive to replace the lost foliage.

I've seen some miraculous recoveries.

they can still make it but you could slow their groth for the year. its better if you wait but you know this now. you could start anther batch just in case.
