Sweet cherry trees, being susceptible to infection, will not be pruned during normal dormancy. With this being said, late summer is when to do so with sweet cherries. This is a bit late in the year, but you should still have enough time to prune before any chance of frost sets in.

Here is an article that will help you to prune cherry trees:
