Cycle slips happen.  To avoid them you need to move really slowly.
Even a fast walk can be too fast.  Even stationary I get them as
sats cycle through the used list.

No GNSS receiver works without good views.

I've rarely had problems with trees.

I was getting 1cm years ago with Skytraq and RTK.  Never tried with
trees.  I do not have even one of thee two ZED-M9P I'd need to test.
