Jeesh!
As a note, the displaced threshold gives 1:20 clearance, IF you land per specification, which is crossing said displaced threshold at 50 feet AGL.

So back NH's question should have been 'at 104 feet how high are you above the trees.' However, most people are probably not going to aim to be 50 feet at the threshold so it will remain a somewhat obstructed approach.
