    In a few years a bloom cluster like that won't bother it at all. Mine will sag and sometime break when we get a really heavy rain or the last two winters when we got lots of ice but they are 30+ years old.

    Well, that's a bummer, huh? I hope the rest of them stay upright for you. Do you have to prune the dead flowers off in the Fall?

    No pruning. They are a very easy tree or bush to grow.
