Hi there,

I am living in Toronto, Ontario, got a Cherry Tree and a maple at the
back yard, am thinking of thinning it out, is it a good time now in
November or should I wait till spring. Anything I have to pay special
attention to

when
I cut the branches ? Your advise will be very much appreciated.

Not sure about the cherry tree.

I have been told by people who should know that you only prune a Maple
when it is in full leaf. The cuts need time to scab over to prevent
excessive bleeding as the sap rises or falls.

Do it after the sap falls.
