Default To prune or not?

I live in Upstate NY...over the summer I planted a weeping cherry tree and 2
sand cherry bushes(shrubs). My question is, should I trim the sandcherrys
now( they have some shoots that have grown to about 4ft tall) or should I
give them the winter and trim in the spring so that the root system has had
a chance to take hold? Would I kill them if I trimmed them now?
As for the tree, should I also wait on trimming that too? Or if I wait till
the spring, will I be cutting the new growth off?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
