Not necessary.  That's one of the virtues of the plant. I've had one or two 
each summer for years.

p.s. as long as we are off-topic:  I have a weeping redbud that I planted in 
the fall of 2009.  It is growing like gangbusters, and I'd like to prune it, 
especially the lower portion of it. Any special things I should know about 
pruning redbuds? I was thinking of removing everything below 3-4 feet next 
spring, and thinning the upper growth for shape.  It's awfully full, and 
might look better if the branching were sparser.
