Pruning should be done during late fall to early winter because few farming operations

 Select scaffold branches with wide branch angles.
 Do not prune too close to the trunk of the tree, and do not leave too much of a stub.
 Leave a small portion of stem above the bud.
 Prune to direct branches outward, not inward.
