THat's a pretty extreme outbreak! Take a closer look to find out if the webs are just on the exterior branches (more common) or inside and outside. It's possible to prune some of the exterior webs, though this will alter the appearance of the tree. If the inside and outside are covered, you can try scraping away the web with a tool.
