Hossin Tree Collision Boxes - Pilots Rejoice!

Turns out that the branches and leaves of the large hossin trees do not have a hitbox, while the trunks do. But is it a feature, or just unfinished?
I would like to think that it will be like this, it is a good way to limit sniper and general camper up in the things, and it also helps pilots. If so however I can see it being possible for players to hide inside these hollow textures.

We have nothing to rejoice about until SOE says the vertical thrust change is not going to live.

I hope it's a feature, it's nice visual cover that makes planes harder to see while still being able to be shot down, plus it's nice to not be crashing into them every 5 seconds.
