“As a general rule, you should prune according to a plant’s bloom time. Prune spring bloomers after they flower and prune summer and fall bloomers in late winter or early spring.”
Some trees have heavy sap flow in early spring which can be unsightly, although it does not injure plants. Prune these mid-summer through fall to avoid this.
