Oh boy. Pruning a young tree correctly is very important to its health and longevity. If you have to ask for internet advice, maybe you aren’t ready for undertaking this task and an arborist should be called. Late winter is tree-pruning time for most trees. Spend an entire evening looking at YouTube videos on the subject. If you still aren’t sure what and when to prune, please call an arborist. It is money well-spent since it prevents more costly problems later.
