What is the proper way for a Chinese Fringe Tree (Chionanthus retusus) to grow? Mine has branches all heading up separately more like a shrub. It is about 5 years old.

It has great white blossoms in the spring and the tree looks healthy enough but I'm not sure if the structure is good or not. Maybe this is the way it normally grows.

Anyone have experience with this tree?
