My jujube are taller than I would like, a lot of my fruit was wasted because we did not want to haul a ladder around. Most size control pruning on other trees is recommended in the summer. Should I prune now after the fruit is done or wait and prune in late winter, early spring?

I usually prune in winter. But when I have pruned in summer I haven’t seen anything bad happen. Id wait until the fruit is ripe!
I use a rake to shake the upper limbs, which causes raining jujubees to bounce off my head!

Those fruit pickers on a pole are nice.
May depend on how much wood needs to be removed. Not sure if jujube suckers as wildly as other fruit trees, but if you have a lot to remove, may want to remove some before dormancy and the rest after dormancy to avoid a lot of water sprouts.
