The FBR is not sufficient to preclude some reception off the back. It not not be reliable, though, depending on what might be in front of the antenna that might reflect signal back to the front of the antenna.
You'll have to try it to see what happens.

Even if can not clear the tops of the trees with antenna mounting height , signal strength gets stronger as the antenna goes higher.

Except where the additional height puts the signal path through thicker foliage which will have a greater attenuation and scattering effect on the signals. OTOH, if you happen to be in one of those areas where the signal path is clearer "down low", then that's where the antenna is most likely going to be able to catch signals the best.
