I have tree's in my inclosure but I have netting across the top with cutouts around the trees. I haven't had any trouble with anything getting up there other than my own chickens! The wind blew the gate shut and the roosted on top cause they couldn't get in.
Added thought, it does really cause a problem when the ice storm snaps limbs on top, it can take out the entire top. Mine made it through the first ice storm with no trouble but the last one took limbs out over both pens. The netting was by far easier to put back up than the chicken wire over the other pen.
Hope this helps.
