Witnesses observed the airplane touchdown hard, 400 feet beyond the approach end of the 1,320 foot long, unmowed, turf strip. The airplane bounced during touchdown, and the pilot attempted to go around by aiming the airplane between two trees. The right wing struck a 35 to 50 foot high tree at the departure end of the runway, and the airplane descended into a field.
Probable Cause: the pilot's delay in aborting the landing after allowing the airplane to touchdown long. His failure to attain a proper touchdown point was a related factor.
