Best Answer

During the winter, while the tree is dormant.

Answer

actually that's a common misconseption born from the fact that most farmers prune trees in winter but that's mostly 'cos its the only time they can. in most cases the best time to prune trees is mid spring and late summer. prunning in winter increases the chances of tree mortallity and slows down healing rates. of course there are exections like pear trees in areas which are affected by fire blight which should be pruned in winter.

You have to prune an olive Tree soon after the fruit has been harvested when the tree is in a more dormant state. In Spain lots of trees are pruned at the same time as the fruit is being picked often with branches cut then shaken for the Olives.
