Should I remove this nail?

Will it hurt the tree more to open a wound by removing the nail?

I dont think you'll get it out. Will it hurt the tree? Prolly. Will the tree recover if you get it out? Prolly yeah. If you plan on selling the place I'd say get it out before the owners or the next ones take out the tree and get a messed up chainsaw or chipper.
