I usually wait till the leaves are at about 3/4 of the way to full bloom (spring) - it will vary what month that will be depending on location . The cambium layer is separating at this time and the bark literally about pops off with very little effort -good luck !!  8)

I cut it whenever I can get it. Not that hard to take bark off of winter-cut wood.
