You should wait appropriate timing. If tree's are vigorous, and need root triming, you should do it in the appropriate time. A root pruning before bud break will reduce the amount of food the roots can provide to the new buds, resulting in smaller leaves and shorter internodes.

For more information on this, Brent Waltson has written a good article wich can be found here : http://www.evergreengardenworks.com/leafsize.htm

Hope this help,
Patrick
