Response to "If it's outside, prune it in the fall. "
If you prune in the fall, you will very likely diminish the number of blooms you see in the Spring, as bud set up occurs the previous year. Fall is a good time to look over your tree and note where over lapping branches are located, where disease might be occurring, what you want to delete - if it is growing too close to a building or or is interfering with where you walk.
In general, while the leaves are off in the fall, take a good look and plan for spring pruning after the flowers have bloomed. It will have leafed out by the time you get ready to prune, but if you already did an appraisal of what you wish to do to it, you should be ready to go.
If it's outside, prune it in the fall. WRONG!
