How do you prune hawthorns?

I have a few hawthorns that I want to prune and reshape. When is the best time to prune and what can be cut off?
How do you prune hawthorns?
This slow-growing native North American tree reaches a height of 30 feet with a rounded canopy that spreads to 35 feet or more.



Prune back shoots to the first two leaves as necessary. Hawthorn grows quickly and needs constant pruning to keep under control. The best time for major branch pruning is before the leaves come in, as the intricate structure of the branches may be clearly viewed. Remove faded fruits and flowers
