The dormant period from late winter through early spring is the best time to trim pine trees in California. The type of pruning known as pinching of one- to two-thirds of the growth on new, thick shoots, called candles, on branch tips must be done from early to mid-summer. Removal of damaged, dangerous, dead, decaying, diseased, dying tree parts needs to be done in dry weather by cuts into dry wood any time throughout the year if it will not wait until dormancy.

The fir and pine we need to take down are dead and almost dead.  They were killed by bugs .  Pine beetles  etc. We live in the forest and it is spreading.  Wanting to take them down now but different people tell us different things.

What time of year is best for trimming pine trees?

Pine trees should be trimmed when their period of growth for the year is over. In the case of most evergreens this would be after Summer and early Fall. In the case of pine trees, however, the recommendation is that they be trimmed in early Spring or Summer. In order to avoid a misshapen tree make sure to trim the "candles" before they have finished their full growth. The candle is the new growth that is of a paler green color than the rest of the pine. The best resource for learning how to trim the candles and help your tree flourish is through the use of a book on Bonsai trees and formation. Follow the instructions faithfully in order to have a lovely shape to your tree.
