First question. What specie of tree are we talking about? Some trees (Fruit) are just now being pruined (Maples) will get a winter pruning as soon as the leaves drop. I may not be the person to listen to because I am dealing with so many trees (thousands) that I never seem to be able to get things done at the dot on perfect time of year. Here is todays example, I have aquired 100 lbs of bald cypress seedlings cut top and bottom. This is approximatly 1,000 trees, in my opinion this is the absolutly worst time of year to cut these trees or to transplant them either but I got them in one big plastic bag and rather than guarintee that they all die by throwing them out I have bedded them all down for the winter with hopes that some will servive. The point is that living material is not written in stone so the question prune or not prune depends on the specie of tree and where in the world you live.
