Does this Crab Apple Tree’s top need to be straighten out/ braced?

4 years ago

My husband and I got this young crap apple tree last year as a grave marker for our dog that passed away. We’ve noticed that what we believe is the main section of the tree seems to lean towards the west. Do we need to brace the tree so that it straightens out? Or should we leave it be and just let it grow? The photo below shows the “main” branch leaning towards the left.
