Hello, this tree should be definitely topped in order to form a tree crown - unless you like  to have a columnar shape of the tree. You can choose at what height to top the tree and thus choose the bottom of the tree crown. You can use this guide for pruning apple trees if you like.  

Enjoy the apples

Hello, Here is helpful guide for columnar fruit trees growing and varieties if anybody would be interested.
