I have this photo of a tree in the forground, with a house behind it. I want to remove the house from the photo, would it be easier to select the tree and put it on a different layer or select the house and remove it. ? What is the best way to select a tree like this? I have read that the pen tool is not the correct way to select trees and leaves. So does anyone know what is?

Look at your extract filter, do some reseach on how to extract trees ,hair, etc, try a google seach,but i think that it would be your best option.

that's a helluva project you've decided to do. What's so special about 'That' tree that you couldn't use one that didn't require so much work? \:/

That's going to be a major pain in the butt.

It's possible that it can be done, but you'll have to use multiple techniques to do it, IMO.

This tutorial might help you with some of it.

Exactly, a major(!) pain, especially with an image of poor quality.
