I bought a new tri colored beech tree and planted it last July. It was a ten year old specimen. It has some crossed branches that need to be pruned out and I'm not sure when it should be done. I was told that it should wait until it's rooted in. Should I do it now or when? Also, does this variety of tree need to be fertilized? I do fertilize the lawn around it.

I'm in zone 5 Michigan
