These trees put out big shows in the spring and summer of deep pink or white blooms. Sometimes ours have gone another round with blooms in the fall.
Some people "top" the trees, cutting all limbs to one height. I never liked it because it seemed so brutal. When I prune, I explain what I am doing and why to our plants and trees. Proper pruning helps a tree or shrub in most cases.
Our local gardening show put out this you tube video, which is one of the best I've seen on the subject.
