You're not supposed to do anything, but a light trimming helps.

one out in front of my house that I want to stay shorter, but I
don't like the "scalped" look, so I've just been pruning off the
seeds as the flowers fall.

These trees have such beatiful forms, it's a shame ignorant people

a big clump that had grown out of and through its pot at a local nursery.
They get huge, and the bark is so pretty!
