Peanut knows his stuff guys. I'm just a Novice. I think I'll keep asking questions and learn. I really do enjoy this forum. Bunch of good folks.Dutchs is right, you can prune a tree any time. Just be aware that pruning a tree when it is no longer dormant stresses the tree. A stressed tree is more susceptible to diseases and insects. Fire blight has been bad around here the last few years. It’s caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora. Plants that produce pome-fruits are susceptible. These include apples, pears, cherry’s and rose bushes.
