Apricot trees? Pruned at wrong time of year?

Hi

 

I wrongly pruned an apricot tree in December… should I be worried about silver leaf or bacterial canker in future?

 

I pruned correctly using clean tools. Just at the wrong time of the year for stone fruits. 

 

I am kicking myself as knew this in theory and always apply it to cherries too and plums… with stone fruits being best pruned in early spring or late summer…


I have pruned cherries in the past in winter and got away with it…

 

What are my chances of getting silver leaf or bacterial canker? There is no evidence of this elsewhere with multiple stone fruits being trees ect. It’s a young tree and pruned correctly with no rain for case and only took four or so branches out using removal cuts to open the centre. 

 

Advice please
