My Orange Tree Has Been Neglected

Is it too late to fix? My orange tree used to produce tons of navels but haven’t done anything to it in 2 yrs. It has a couple oranges on it, and dead branches all over. Can I prune it or cut it back now? I’m on the east coast in Florida, near Daytona. Isn’t September the right time to cut all the dead branches off?

Pruning the orange tree for shape is not necessary. However, you should remove any branches that are a foot or less from the ground. In addition, remove damaged or dying branches once they are noticed. So yes, you can do this now.
