Chuck,
Were it me, I'd wait a bit. Watch the peach orchards. Prune after they do. You'll notice that they give them a bit more time to get fully dormant, before they prune.

Hi, new member to IBC here. I was given a crabapple earlier this year that
has some crossing branches which I would like to prune back. The buds have
formed and all leaves/fruit are gone. Can it be pruned now or should I wait 'til
early spring? Location here is central Calif. Temperatures at night are going
down to upper 30's (F). Though I've been involved in bonsai for about 3 years, I
don't have much experience with fruiting trees.

Thanks in advance,

Chuck Boudreau
