Shortly after harvesting the fruit, assuming your shrub is fruiting. Otherwise, depending on your climates, some time in mid summer should suffice. The goal to pruning is to thin out the middle of the tree AFTER fruiting has occured, and BEFORE new growth has filled in and started to form buds for next year's flowers. If you prune in fall, there is a solid chance that you will remove branches covered in buds that would've otherwise flowered and fruited next year. If you prune in winter or spring, the same dangers are present. When pruning, try not to remove more than 30% of the plant to prevent damage. You may want to coat the exposed cuts with a paste used specifically to treat cuts in order to prevent infection.

Who invent cherry tomato?
Small tomatoes have existed the same length of time that normal tomatoes have existed. Nobody "invented" them, they were already there.
Where is a woman's cherry?
Basically a woman is cherry until her hymen is penetrated. Initially this happened when the woman had penetration for the first time. It can be very painful and there may be bleeding. Also called popping her cherry. It used to be that men wouldn't marry a woman whose hymen had been penetrated because they wanted a virgin. Because of the active lifestyle of the modern woman it is not unusual for the hymen to be torn. This can happen through strenuous exercise, sports, horseback riding etc.
Can you digest cherry pits?
Yes you can, and no it is not toxic. Cherry pits are just a cherries bigger version of an apple seed. They are digested the same way everything else you swallow is digested. Remember, our stomach acid is strong enough to corrode plastic - of course it is going to be strong enough to digest a cherry stone. The only reason swallowing cherry pits could potentially harm you is if you are either allergic to them in any way OR you eat excessive amounts of them (excessive being a heck of a lot). [ I swallow cherry pits AND chewing gum all the time and I am FINE. So either I'm Superwoman or everyone else is wrong. ]
Can you grow a cherry blossom tree in Florida?
The answer depends partly on the region of Florida, since its climate varies considerably from north to south. In north Florida, many flowering cherry varieties will likely be successful. They might not grow as vigorously as further north though. In central and south Florida most common flowering cherries will have a hard time. Some exceptions include black cherry (Prunus serotina) which is native to parts of the state. Also the Taiwan cherry (Prunus campanulata) will do well in most of Florida.Yes i believe so. I've seen cherry blossoms being sold in Florida so i believe they can grow here.There is a Museum/Garden in West Palm Beach that grows them.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVGOLA_0NJk
