I've finally cut back most of the October snow storm damage and am looking for advice on further pruning. A few of the trees are very misshapen now and I'm wondering when would be the best time prune back to shape them.

For instance an old Flowering Magnolia lost one of 4 trunks with another loosing most of it's major branches. It's now lost about 2/3 of it's leaves. What would be the least stressful time to prune this already stressed out tree?
