The pilot reported that after completing a 1-hour local flight, he entered the traffic pattern to land on runway 27. An automated weather report from an airport 9 miles away reported the wind from 300° at 10 knots. During final approach he confirmed that the airport’s windsock position was consistent with 300°. After touch down, the airplane bounced multiple times, but he maintained directional control. However, about halfway down the runway, he was uncertain if he would be able to stop the airplane on the remaining runway, so he initiated a go-around. During the climb, the airplane yawed left and collided with a tree then impacted the ground. The collision with tree and ground impact resulted in substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and engine mount. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
