A 33 footer is not going to help much on 80 and 160 I fear...  bigger is 
better
in my estimation.

I think you will do better away from the tree.   Can you suspend your
current wire off a messenger line and get it away from the tree?
How much better, not sure.

Might be an inexpensive fix with what you have...

Maybe more and longer radials -- even if they take an odd course around 
the yard.
