When to trim a tree

Question

I have a 30 year old PeeGee Tree needing to be trimmed back a little, maybe 15%. I live in zone 5.

Answer 1

These can be, safely, pruned during dormancy, or after flowers fade.

You can take up to 1/3 of the plant during growing season, but it is best to do any major cutting during dormancy.
