Yes, the trees and buildings almost always require a correcting elevation at the receiving end. Like your pine trees, the Douglas Firs here in the NW can require a 100' correction to the terrain model.

I wonder how soon we can expect the publicly accessible terrain mapping databases to include vegetation and structure detail. (When I started my career at the phone company the internet, cell phones and PC did not exist.)
