When I fly away from trees, they start glowing, but when I go close they stop glowing.
It looks like the LOD does not accept shadows, so they appear brighter than they are supposed to be. (or brighter than they do when I am close to trees)

This happens during morning and evening in-game time.
It happens because the direction of the sun does not interact with SubSurfaceScatering properties of the materials.
The glowing trees make some sense during daytime
But not as much during sunrise, when the sun is low
When the sun is low the trees should not be illuminated
I got my game to have less glowing trees in the morning by using SSSBackScattering attribute on tree LOD emat's.
But I would prefer a solution that could change the value based on weather config.
I don't know how to do it myself.
