I have one huge one I planted 30 years ago. A straight-line windstorm broke off a big chunk some time back, but I trimmed it up and thinned out the crown, and so far it’s not broken again. Knowing what I know now, of course I’d not have planted it, and there are so many in the neighborhood, chopping it won’t do much to stop the plague. Strangely, I’ve never found a seedling in my yard; just mulberries and native black cherries.
Usually, a big flock of cedar waxwings will come in and clean it out.
