Pointing at a close tree definitely wont help, it is too close! You really need to point it skyward. As the Moon will probably not be high enough to try until later in the week, why not try pointing it at Jupiter, the really bright "star" about half-way up in the north at sunset? You should see the big disc of the planet and the 4 Galilean moons around it. Focus the moons to pin points (or as close as) and then if Jupiter is still a bit fuzzy or blurry that is the local atmosphere moving about, but you should at least see two stripes across it, which are the main equatorial belts.
