As an elite punch out player, I recommend hitting the highest lofted club that you can reasonably get below the overhanging branches. Shorten your backswing as needed and make sure to accelerate thru the ball.
From 60-130 yds I normally use a 6 or 7(occasionally 4-5 if I need to go really low), play it back of the stance just inside my back foot so that it delofts and try to hit it hard enough to carry 60-80% to the green, depending on rough thickness and ground firmness. It’s basically a long pitch shot swing with a mid iron instead of a wedge.
You can hit this shot on the range too but harder to simulate without the trees
