Glowing Effect

I created this "Ring of Fire" with the Ivy Generator. Now I wonder, if it is possible to add a glowing effect? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

    Electro-Elvis - very nice "Ring of Fire". Four years ago I made a render with a glowing Bryce tree (below upper part). The material used (below lower part). It shows the the leaves texture (green), and for the trunk it is the same, just channel A is different, shown at left (brown).
    It is only lit by specularity amplified with a phased hyper texture (PHT) in Ch D. The specular comes from an HDRI with a dynamic range of around 2700:1, Specularity 300 and HDRI Effect 0. The sun in the example is behind the tree, also with Specular 300 and Diffuse 0.
    I got the idea for the example render from here: https://horo.ch/docs/mine/pdf/Spec-to-TA-Light.pdf
    If you have not made a PHT, here is how it is done in a minute or two: https://horo.ch/docs/mine/pdf/PhasedHT.pdf

    I forgot to mention the render settings. Please see below. Rendering takes a bit of time. Another important detail: Even if there is no HDRI Effect, True ambience optimization must be disabled (arrow right of HDRI Effect).
