Depends on how you are with general maintenance and yard clean up? That looks like small or medium queen. Not that hard to maintain. If you keep on top of it. Would cut the seed pods out as soon as they bloom open. Cut the brown Fonds off leaving short stem, eventually they will fall over or fall off.

In about 5 or 10 years the tree will get too tall for you maybe too old to maintain it. That's when I would have someone pruned or taken out. Reguardless the Fonds and seed pods are very heavy. You don't want one falling on you!
