      3. Q: When is a good time to prune a tree?
         1. A: There is no hard and fast rule for pruning trees. It really depends on the tree species, what work needs to be done, and how you want the tree to respond. Generally speaking it is best to prune flowering trees and shrubs after they finish flowering. Never top a tree! For more information call your county Extension office.
