Check the condition your trees an. Then prune your trees and shrubs. With regards to fruit trees, it is recommended to prune them in late winter or early spring.
Hello. I can be a personal decision for you to decide upon. Some people severely trim back crêpe myrtles severely amputating them to make an architectural statement. Sometimes called Crepe Murder. Other people let them go. Sometimes it’s a matter of personal preference
Some trees shed their dry leaves and bud new ones later than others. Your best bet may be to just wait and see.
You can leave it along and it will be fine. If you want to prune it, the best time is late winter or early spring before there are any buds present.
You should just leave it. Prune in the winter
