If it is a cherry then I believe it's best to wait until May/June - at
any
other time of year they can apparently succumb to 'Silver Leaf' disease
which can kill the tree. That's what we were told by the
Arboricultural
Association anyway so we're waiting til a lil later in the year to
prune our
10 cherries (what a daunting task!)

Plums and gages are not a good idea at this time for the same reason.
