Do you love the depth on field of this capture or I should capture the tree without this depth of field?

Hi Knut, i wouldn't say that it is wrong to capture also those kind of images with a quite big focus range - honestly it's quite the contrary; sometimes it has indeed a great artistic character to have a focused foreground and a nice bokeh in the background. But i would just go for it, if the respective foreground has some interesting/exciting elemts and subjects to focus on.
At the end it really depends on the scenery and subject and what you're intending to express with your capture! ;-)
So what Jose showed is a great and typical approach when it comes to focus stacking. Very helpful especially in landscape photography to achieve a consistent sharpness (from foreground to background).
As a reference I have also attached one of my images here where i've used to go for a selected focus.

with 3 photos with several approaches I think that is enough. then in photoshop you have to have each photo in a layer and you give it there and it will create you a single image all focused.

In this case you would have to take several photos with different focus and put them together
