Narrative:
During climb; had a pitch trim asymmetry [message]; followed QRH. En-route crew discussed possible issues with control of aircraft with pitch trim being stuck in a nose up trim. [Advised ATC] and landed in ZZZ normal. Notified maintenance. Possible changes to QRH for pitch trim failure should include notes about uncontrollably issues and possible needing to divert to another airport.
