Is it already to late? when is the latest you would prune? I may be able to get to my trees in about 2 weeks?

i have 80 of them and winter is a good time,but this winter has been long and cold, so your window is still there, just do it soon.

You can prune all spring and summer.

suckers can be cut any time, major pruning Feb. is best but this year March will have to do

get your pruning done before they bloom and you are ok. water sprouts can be pruned anytime. again over 1\3 cutting and your trees will go into vegetative stage and your fruit production will be greatly reduced. Remember heading cuts will produce more vegetative growth then thining cuts!!

I remember being told once that you can prune trees in any month that has an "R" in the spelling. Not sure how correct that statement is? (September through April)

JD3 I was told the same by an arborist.

I pruned mine in March, bad thing was the flies were out already. I noticed after I pruned them the house flies were landing on the cut-off parts of the tree I'm guessing to eat the sap. I hope they can't hurt them.
