I abide by the guide line to not remove anything larger than a pencil in diameter.
The other essential is common sense as usual.

BTK, for those of us with no common sense and little knowledge of what to do with 9a plants, what is crape murder? I have a feeling that is what my landscaper is suggesting. He said to trim everything back to 6 feet (it's a new tree) so it will bush out next season. That would mean leaving about four inches of every single branch. Is that called pollarding?
What would the alternative form of trimming involve?
