ENROUTE THE PLT ATTEMPTED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE IFR WX THAT EXISTED ALONG HIS INTENDED ROUTE & THEN DECIDED TO RETURN TO FT. LAUDERDALE. AS THE ACFT DESCENDED OVER THE RWY THRESHOLD, IT WAS OBSERVED TO ROCK ITS WINGS SEVERAL TIMES AS IF THE PLT WAS HAVING PROBLEMS IN CONTROLLING THE ACFT IN THE EXISTING GUSTY WINDS. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE PLT ELECTED TO GO AROUND & INITIATED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A RIGHT STEEP CLIMBING TURN. WHILE STILL IN A STEEP RIGHT BANK THE ACFT CLIMBED OVER A LINE OF TREES ADJACENT TO THE RWY & WAS OBSERVED TO STALL.
