A rule of thumb is that no tree should be trimmed more than one-third of its height. If you need to prune your 12 foot tree, pruning off any more than 4 feet of it could cause the tree to die. Here's an article that may help:

If you need more help with this tree, I would recommend consulting with a certified arborist.
