peach tree pruning

Hi

I have a 5year old peach tree that has had a bad year due to leaf curl and lost its fruit.When I read up on it i am told prune in late Feb after the last frosts.Well,where I live in the south east we can have plenty of frosts up until May(dont cast a clout until May is out as the saying goes).As I have lost all the fruit could I prune now? The tree is in a very large frost free tub and has grown a lot of new foliage and apart from some old leaves still infected with leaf curl it still looks pretty healthy and we have been threatened with a couple of months of decent weather.Your comments would be much appreciated.

P.J.S
