Pruning a Cherry Tree

I have a cherry tree that is about 16 years old (or older) and has never been trimmed. It is about 2 stories high. The cherries are good, but unreachable. What is the best way to prune and what time of year should it be done?
Thank you so much for your time.

Call your local county extension office; they will have all the information you need and are master gardeners and delighted to help you and answer questions you have! They might even be able to recommend someone to do the pruning for you, if you are unable to do so!
