In your RAW tool or PS open the color saturation dialog, select blues, drag it up.

Alternatively, select and duplicate the sky, set the blend mode on the sky layer to "Multiply", then follow THIS TECHNIQUE. Adjust opacity to taste.

Selecting the sky where there are tress up by it is a real pain in the butt, and always look artificial to me.

You just need to find the right tool for making the selection. In this case, the better tool to use would the Color Range selection tool and using the eye dropper to pick off the blue color of the sky.
