it looks like a fine airfield with plenty length for spam cans (2400 ft from the displaced threshold) by about 60 feet wide, the trees on final do not appear that large and are about 700 feet from the threshold
Absolutely.

I was there three weeks ago and I don't remember thinking 'must watch for them trees'. I'm not saying there are no trees, but I don't recall any surprising me, as such.
But perhaps the displaced threshold did its job and kept me well above ?

I had a Go-pro camera running in time-lapse mode at the time so I'll have a look at the pictures when I get up later. But I don't recall any surprises.
