My friends, family and our antennas are all affected by trees. In some cases, I have had to resort to using the biggest antennas available, and still when the wind blows, have trouble with reception. In all these cases, the TVFR would suggest an indoor antenna should be adequate.

The interference produced by moving vegetation can be nearly impossible to overcome by anything less than a chainsaw or tower. In my case, I'm still looking at trees when 90' up.

Most of the RS amplifiers gain is matched by the noise they produce... Consider an RCA TVPRAMP1R.
