Your height is relative from the place you launched from. Were you watching the AC?

Yes.

Also, there's something called the blue sky rule... something like that.  If you keep your VLOS flight with sky around the background of the AC at all times, it's impossible to hit a tree.  

Good luck

Weren't you viewing your device screen, to see that you were heading right for the tree?

Welcome to the club fans04e241d7, those trees certainly jump out at you.
ALABAMA's advice is something we probably forget from time to time but even the screen can be misleading on occasion.
Much damage?
