cottonwood trimming

I have a cottonwood tree that needs trimming. Can that be done now without damaging the tree, or do I need to wait until spring?

    Now, while the tree is dormant, is a very good time to trim the tree. Please use a qualified tree service that is fully insured and uses appropriate safety measures.
