I need fireproof trees...

J. M. Pescado:
Trees seem pretty self-extinguishing to me. I've always had the tree go out on its own. It doesn't even seem to negatively affect its health to be on FIRE. In any case, it's nothing to worry about. At least now there's a sensible reason why something is on fire, instead of the infamous Molotov Toaster Pastry.

I had a tree burn to a pile of ash on two separate occasions when it stopped raining directly after the strike.  The third time it happened I was able to get the fire department there in time to save it.

And once in real life I had a kitchen fire due to an unattended frosted toaster pastry in the toaster.  Those suckers can BURN!

What about the trellises, though? Or are we just to avoid using the darn things? (And which object(s) exactly are affected by the buggy invisible fire problem, again?)

and by trellis you mean that fence-with-bedflower pre-order gift for seasons, right? How does it get glitched? I have used these on several occasions and didn't notice anything unusual...

No, the trellis in question came with University.  Unlike the Seasons preorder, the game considers the University trellis a tree.  Unfortunately, Maxis neglected to create an animation for this "tree" catching fire after it is struck by lightning.  Soooo, when it is struck by lightning, it causes invisible fires which spawn errors and create all sorts of problems.
