I've not found this to be the case in my experience here in 
Wisconsin.  This is not to say that there aren't species and climates 
where specific pruning time might be prudent.   I know there are some 
species that are inclined to "bleed", so that spring pruning might 
best be avoided.   I note that here in Milwaukee, the city arborists 
refrain from pruning elms in the summer.  This might have something 
to do with the spread of Dutch Elm Disease.
