    It seems likely that it is either a caterpillar or a moth. There are many options available, and many of those can be crafted using items that you already have.

    Complete removal will be quite difficult. I don't see the tree causing much issue. These can handle being pruned somewhat heavily right after the blooms drop, so that will be the best way to maintain the size and shape of the shrub. Pruning too late, or early will keep it from flowering next year, so it is important only do to so right as it is done flowering.

    Should you choose to replace it, then you will be replacing with a much larger tree. It is always best to assume that it can get a little bigger than stated. This will keep you from planting too close.

    Ultimately, the call is up to you. It can be quite a pain to remove a tree, and keep it from coming back from roots and seedlings, though.
