AFTER CHECKING THE FUEL SELECTOR AND APPLYING CARBURETOR HEAT, THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT MADE A RIGHT TURN BACK TO THE RUNWAY. THE WIND WAS FROM 340 DEGREES AT 25 KNOTS GUSTING TO 30 KNOTS. FULL FLAPS WERE USED. AN OVERSHOOT OCCURRED WITH THE LANDING TOUCHDOWN ACCOMPLISHED 1/4 MILE FROM THE AIRPORT. A TREE WAS STRUCK PRIOR TO LANDING ROLL. DURING LANDING ROLL THE NOSE GEAR STRUCK A SHORT WALL AND THEN A STACK OF BRICKS. EXAM OF THE ENGINE DID NOT REVEAL ANY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE.
