Keep your hand 100% stationary as you land and you will stop on every surface but the verticle ones without bouncing, this is the safest way to land jumps between branches. 

Climbing tree trunks is done either by clamping your hands on both sides and shimmying up or by a more advanced wallclimbing technique that uses brief moments of friction to pull yourself up and towards the trunk. The first method is only ineffective on the thickest and lowest parts of the trees.
