Choke balun on an elevated ground plane

I have a (home built) 40 m ground plane with the base elevated about 8
feet and with 7 elevated sloping radials. The 50 Ohm feedline drops
straight down the 8 feet and then runs on the surface of the ground.

Would a choke balun at the feed point be advisable?
