Think of the uppermost note of the tremolo (interval of a minor 3rd or more) or trill (interval of a semitone or a tone) when playing in the upper register and ditch the fingering chart and fly against convention for the fingering of the lower note, provided the lower note fingering you use will speak easily and be in tune as it is the written note on the stave.

For an upper register C#-E tremolo, play the E as a normal upper register E (8ve1 xxx|xxo) and then play the C# using the 1st 8ve key instead of half holing or lifting off LH1 (8ve1 xxx|xxx C#). Trill both RH3 and the C# key together - trust me, it'll work. The trill fingering diagram is 8ve1 xxx|xx+ C#+ (the + denotes the trilling fingers).
