I like the WD-40 suggestion, but I think the rope may be to well embedded, I will definitely try that next weekend though and I'll give it some fertilizer too.

I'm not sure about the staking though--the tree is 20+ feet tall so do you think putting stakes in would even do any good? My thought was if the tree decides it wants to fall over there's not much that's going to stop it! Unfortunately I don't have a good picture of the tree, here's a pic that shows the bottom part of it but you can get an idea for how big the tree is. The one with the rope stuck in it is the one on the left
