Concerning trimming a mature sweetgum tree, I know doing so when the new year's growth begins in the Spring-April is most commonly referred to as bad practice.... so Im wanting to know exactly at what point does it become too late in the winter-turning-spring to trim. If the bud breaking has begun AT ALL, it's really considered too late, right? The tree needs a considerable amount of height reduction, and so if its not to late, I'd rather go ahead and do it now B4 it has really started yearly growth, as opposed to waiting again till winter dormancy.... but I believe I probably waited too late. Any thoughts?
