Depends on the image, but as mentioned above, isolating the tree using channels is a good method, but this is dependent on the background being noticeably different from the tree - A tree on a sky is easy to remove, a tree in a forest is stupidly hard.
Play with the color modes looking at the channels until you find a good contrast between foreground and background. Duplicate this as an alpha channel and play with curves/levels until the isolation is there. Correct any obvious ommissions/inclusions with clever brushwork, then use this channel as a mask.
