How do I remove a nail from a tree?

In my yard there is a tree with a nail in in that I would really like to remove. I tried pulling at it with the forked end of the hammer, but it won't budge. Any tips? (It's driven in at an angle...in case that makes a difference.)How do I remove a nail from a tree?
Unless the nail is made of copper (most likely it's not), just drive it in the rest of the way. The tree will grow around it.





Damaging the bark while pulling it out is more harmful to the tree than just letting it be.How do I remove a nail from a tree?
Cut it off short, drive in rest was the best answer, but remember to cover the little area with a bit is vaseline, after your done. This will help keep bugs and other nasties out while that part of the tree heals over. By the time the vaseline wears off, the tree will have ';scabbed over';
Cut the tree down right above or right below where the nail is. You may need to go back after the initial cut and cut again -- the goal is to expose the part of nail that's in the tree. Once you've cut through the trunk, it should be pretty easy now to pry the nail out.
How is the tree,leaves still grow on it?Pull it out as far as you can,using a pry bar and a piece of 2x4 to protect bark.If you can get it all the way out,this is best.Fill hole with a little glue and a stick from the tree and jam it in the hole,cut off excess.
Get a wrecking bar (crow bar) that has a much longer end than a hammer. Before you pull the nail, be sure to put a block of wood or something else that is hard, against the tree bark against which you can pull. That way, you will avoid damage to the bark.
put a long piece of pipe over the hammer handle,and a piece of wood or any thing about a inch or inch and a half for a fulcrum (pivot point) under the hammer head this will increase you pulling power by 50% you may wanna try a little penetrating oil on it as well.
Dig out the bark enough to grab it with a pair of Vice Grips


lock the Grips onto the nail at it's tightest possible setting and pry the nail out on the rounded edge of the vice grips.


The tree will love you for helping it out.
A wrecking bar is good but before you try to pull the nail out first give it a few taps in to break any rust bond that may have formed.
cut it off at the tree and drive the rest in.
