A spray run was being flown along the boundary of a paddock by a trainee pilot. One tree infringed the run and the trainee elected to apply rudder to direct the aircraft past the tree. Incorrect rudder was applied and the instructor took over but the left wing struck the tree. The instructor was able to maintain control although one metre of wing and the aileron had been torn off. He landed the aircraft in the adjoining paddock without further damage.
