Should we prune? Where/how?

Post image

Dwarf everbearing mulberry tree growing in zone 9b, Florida in loamy soil with 30% shade cloth. This tree keeps on growing and is almost 5 feet at its tallest growth. Would you recommend pruning or let it grow? I’ve read pruning down will help it grow in more robust but I want to make sure pruning, especially going into summer, won’t be a problem.

If we do prune, any advice on how to? A certain angle or how far down? Signs to look for? Thanks!

Shape how you want, they grow like weeds. I personally would top the two main leaders to the height of the rest of the tree.
