when is the best time to prune it? I have a puny one that hardy even bloomed this spring. Frankly, I'm tired of it and ready to yank it out but hubby says to give it another chance. tree is about 7 ft tall with very spindly branches. he thinks if we prune it the canopy will get fuller.

somebody told me this tree is short lived, 20 yrs, and very disease prone. but if you feel sorry for this tree, tell me what to do or I'm gonna "terminate" it.
