When To Cut/prune A Walnut Tree

Question

Thr tree is very old and large/tall but very healthy. I need to reduce the size. It is now September and the tree is full of fruit so I am reluctant to cut at this time. Am I able to cut in mid to late October? I am situated in south west France so that time of year is relatively warm.

Answer 1

Generally, you want to cut closer to the end of dormancy, but while the tree is still dormant. This article will help:
