g'day pam,

it might depend more on what species you have?

if it is one of the forest species (never recommended for street
planings or gardens) then pruning or what we call lopping could make
the tree more prone to dropping limbs as the new growths are not as
secure as the original growths. for the main there are better plants
to be pruned into a bushy shrub.
