Narrative:

I was landing at brennand field in neenah, wi. Active runway was runway 18. Winds were 250 degrees at 12 KTS. My touchdown point was at mid-field and I decided to go around after my wheels touched. The crosswind blew me off course to the left of the runway. As a result, the left wing brushed a tree top. I continued in-flight and landed at atw.
