Airport; Human Factors
[We were] landing at a 3;000 FT airstrip with 100 FT trees on each end of runway. Upon landing; I determined that the aircraft could not be safely stopped by the end of the runway. I initiated a go-around with approximately 1;000 FT of runway left. While attempting to clear all of the trees; the left wing of the aircraft impacted with a tree branch. The event was due to my not having recognized the potential problem earlier; so that a go-around could be initiated earlier. I exhibited poor judgment under the circumstances. There were no other contributing factors.
SR20 pilot reports electing to go-around after touching down on a 3;000 FT runway with 1;000 FT remaining. The left wing contacts tree branches on the go-around. One hundred foot trees on both ends of the runway affected the approach and go-around.
