Should I prune a young tree that is growing so tall it is top heavy?

Yes, pruning a young tree that is top-heavy can help promote a more balanced growth and prevent it from becoming weak or unstable. Focus on removing any dead, damaged, or crossing branches, and consider trimming back the tallest branches to encourage a more even shape. It's best to prune during the tree's dormant season to minimize stress and encourage healthy growth in the spring. Always use clean, sharp tools to make clean cuts and reduce the risk of disease.
