During a hail, rain, sleet, snow or storm event is the worst time to prune a tree. Trees tend to recover when proper pruning schedules are not followed since they must be pruned when pruning never has been done, when there is danger to the environment or to the tree or when the tree suffers from damage, death, decay or disease. Pruning during human-imposed or natural moisture events will increase the possibility of terminal cankers from cuts into wet wood and, in the case of lightning and proximity to power sources, the probability of animal and human casualties.

As close to the winter season as possible. The tree must be dormant. Do not prune more than 25% of the overall tree. Keep cuts 1/4" out from the shoulder (black ring) at the trunk. Prune branches that grow up and tangle. Remove all dead wood. Never prune this tree during its growing season.
