We have a Walnut tree that is 30 years old. We live in California near the coast. When is the best time to prune this tree?

The best time to prune walnut trees is the later end of the dormant season when the trees are still out of leaf. This way you can easily see the form of the tree and yet you are not cutting away any new growth that appears in spring.

Pruning should be done in your winter when the tree is in a dormant stage.
