Should I worry about keeping this tree straight?

I just transplanted this service berry tree a month ago. The top branch and new growth are starting to bend over. This area gets occasional high winds and I am concerned about the tree starting to look windswept (guess I chose the right username). I know I should remove the support pole at some point to allow the tree to build up it's strength against wind, but for now should I try to extend it up to hold the new growth straight? Will the overall growth still be straight even if the top branch is bendy?
