Expert Response
Thank you for your question, Ann. Pruning off dead, diseased or dangerous material can be done year around. Pruning to modify the tree's shape is best done when the tree is dormant. Here is an OSU resource: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/crop-production/fruit-trees/tree-pruning-basics
I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
