Hi,

 

That sounds like a good idea…  Put a string of old fashioned 7w Christmas lights on the tree and tarp it to trap the heat the bulbs produce.  Sounds like it would work for a single, small tree.

 

They also have temperature switches that turn on at a temperature you set.  People on vacation would use them to alert neighbors of a freeze problem in their home while they were on vacation down south, when a certain lamp came on.

 

Your idea is much like a mini greenhouse.

 

Later,

Tom
