Default Pruning a Walnut Tree

Hi All
My lovely walnut tree has only just shed it's last leaves and dropped it's
harvest of walnuts.
Examining it today I see it's already got shoots on it.
Just when do I prune it please?
I so wanted to remove some of the lower branches to save me limbo dancing
under them, with the lawnmower, in the months ahead!
Any special procedures etc., please?
Many thanks and seasons greetings to all
Hew

Any time now will be OK. Make the first cut a couple of feet away
from the bole so that you can support that part remaining during the final
cut. Next year look out for new growths and rub them out while young.
Best Wishes Brian.
