Pruning Kwanzan Cheery Tree #229003

Asked February 26, 2015, 12:42 PM EST

This tree was planted 4 years ago this spring and has never been pruned. Base of tree is about 3 1/2 " and its about 15' tall. AS you can see in the pics a couple of branches are crossing each other and one growing back toward the center of the tree.

Where should I begin?

Your descriptions are not what we want to see.  This is the right time of year to start your pruning process.  There are several pruning methods to choose. Oregon state has a nice detailed publication:
