I fly into a 3700' grass / unimproved strip at sea level with 75' trees on all 4 sides. Never a problem landing. However, because of all of the rear prop nicks I've had to deal with over the years, I always shut down my front engine for taxi after landing. It has reduced the amount of nicks.

Regarding takeoff, I have the Horton STOL kit on my bird. However, I normally fly pretty close to gross, and during summer months when the temp is 100+ degrees, it seems like I use just about all of the 3700' to get over the trees. When I am not close to gross, I can get off the ground and up over the trees in about 2000'. It's amazing the difference a "little bit" of weight makes.
