Need more details as to how much will be cut, how big are the cuts, who will be doing the cutting, and how will the cutting be done. Pruning is usually best done in the fall, but dead wood and some interfering limbs can be pruned any time. Pecan tends to rip when cut so care must be used when cutting limbs so as to not damage the tree. Post some pictures of the tree and you might get a better response. Best advice I can offer is if you are not sure, hire someone.

Thank you, here are the details

i have 9 big pecan trees that have not been trimmed in some time. they were planted in the late 40's. i have dead limbs, limbs crossed, limbs hanging to the ground, that are in danger of cracking it seems to me. the trees just have not been well maintained. i am trying to start to clean up the mess, and was looking for general information. some of the trees i will have to climb to the top to remove dead limbs, and trim accordingly. just trying to get some trimmed now and then some in the fall.

i have a large pine in the front yard, it is posted in another thread in this group. i am trying to identify the species, and how to remove the moss from the branches.

lots of trees in my space that have been neglected over the years, and i am trying to clean them up, and treat so they will be around for the next 50 or so years. not to mention, picked about 350 lbs of pecans this year. so that is a good thing. thanks to the group.

i live in San Antonio, TX so unless somebody has a arborist to recommend, i am best served with me as the arborist.
