Since the late 1990s its appearance in the United Kingdom has increased, among the most affected species is Corsican pine and the disease has been a significant problem in Thetford Forest. [12] Though the disease spread rapidly during September 2007 Christmas tree growers remained confident that Christmas tree crops would be unaffected. [13]
The amount of light a tree receives on its southwest side is correlated with the amount of sun scald the tree endures. Reducing the amount of light the tree is exposed to by planting a shrub or bush strategically to shade the southwest side can be less effective than wrapping or painting, but can have better aesthetic qualities for landscaping.
Christmas tree farms growing P. sylvestris, P. nigra, and P. ponderosa are also at high risk of infection. [7] True epidemics of pine-pine gall rust are rare, occurring only in years when susceptible hosts, virulent pathogens, and proper environmental conditions are present simultaneously.

Wrapping lights around your tree so they create rows of lights might be the status quo; however, many people on TikTok are convinced that a vertical arrangement is the gift that keeps on giving.
A pre-lit tree is an artificial Christmas tree which is pre-wired with Christmas lights. The lights are wrapped around the tree before it is sold, reducing set up time and making storage simpler. The lights cannot usually be removed from the tree because they are normally embedded within the artificial branches.
Phytophotodermatitis, also known as berloque dermatitis, [1] [2] [3] margarita photodermatitis, [4] [5] lime disease [6] or lime phytodermatitis [6] is a cutaneous phototoxic inflammatory reaction resulting from contact with a light-sensitizing botanical agent (such as lime juice) followed by exposure to ultraviolet A (UV-A) light (from the sun, for instance).
The only types of lights used are mini, C7, and C9. Special wiring was to be installed to light the 125-foot-tall (38 m) pine tree with C9 bulbs for the 2007 display. Miniature lights first came in sets of 35 (3.5 volts per bulb), and sometimes smaller sets of 20 (6 volts per bulb).
Albert V. Sadacca (February 6, 1901 – December 8, 1980 [1]) is credited with popularizing electric Christmas tree lights for private use. According to the legend, in 1917, at the age of 15, after a fire in New York City started by candles suspended in a tree, Sadacca adapted the novelty lighting that his parents sold for use in Christmas trees.
