Question Trimming Fruit Trees

Hello everyone,
I was wondering what time of year to trim cherry, peach and plum trees. And if you had to trim them different then you do apple trees?
Thank you very much

I would say it's too late now to prune, unless you have damaged or broken limbs. (Guessing, since I don't know where you are.) Pruning should be done during dormancy. And, yes, apples and peaches should be pruned differently. Try contacting your states extension service, they should have lots of information on pruning fruit trees.
