Question

Random Forest - Do you need to prune trees in random forest?

Answer

Pruning decision trees is necessary to avoid overfitting. A data sample is already bagged before it reaches each tree in a random forest, which is responsible for controlling overfitting. Under these conditions, trimming is superfluous.
