Is it too late to trim a silver maple?

[htgeren]

I've got a rather large and unruly silver maple in my yard and was wondering if its too late in the year to trim off some of the branches? Any thoughts?

Silver maple is like a weed trim it all ya want.

I just had mine trimmed way up on Monday. This is a tree that can pretty much be trimmed anytime of year. You should be just fine.

I was always told you should only trim in months with a "R" in them. Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec.

Like Said Silver maples are like weeds. Trimming now would not be an issue. You could probably cut 90% of the branches off now and it would still be fine. Go ahead. There are some trees that are fussy and I would say no. Like oaks. Silver Maples (soft maples) are not one of them to worry about.

Thanks for the info guys.

Maples are safe to trim year round. There is a slight chance of damaging them in mid summer but I've never seen it happen.

Can I trim a honey locus now? I have a few limbs that are out of hand. That thing has 3 feet of new growth already this year.
