EB1 uses the higher frequency band than Astra 2d and also they are normally a bit weaker. Leaves are a killer for both terrestrial and satellite and the higher the frequency (the shorter the wavelength the more the attenuation). Sadly I imagine there are only a few solutions,
Favourite - A Chain Saw or more impractable - Agent Orange,
More practical - moving the dish location, you might find a spot with a better signal. You need a proper pro fitter with the right kit to pursue this option.
