The student pilot was remaining in closed traffic to practice crosswind landings. While on short final approach for the 7th landing, he elected to perform a go-around. He increased power and retracted the flaps from 30 to 10 degrees. He then became concerned about a poor rate of climb and low airspeed, and he did not believe that the aircraft would safely clear trees at the departure end of the runway. Deciding to abort the go-around, he landed near the departure end of the runway. The nose wheel struck a concrete curb that marked the end of the runway. The aircraft then became airborne and struck a small tree. Inspection of the aircraft revealed no preexisting anomaly.
Probable Cause: failure of the student pilot to maintain adequate airspeed during a go-around. Trees at the departure end of the runway were a related factor.
