Greetings Mike: Technically you can prune black walnut any time of year. However, I'm a huge advocate of dormant season pruning. In fact, you'll never see me pruning trees during the growing season. For proper pruning techniques and tips, might I suggest you contact your local Oregon State Extension office.
