Getting Ruby over her fear of Christmas trees

So Christmas tree therapy has commenced in the Anstey household.
Step 1 Harry and Jess hung treats on the little tree hoping she would take them off!. not sure this is a good thing long term as can see if she overcomes her fear my big tree getting dismantled bit by bit!
step 2 Sat Ruby on my lap showing her pictures of lots of pretty Christmas trees. seems to have gone well she doesn't seem scared on pictures of them.
step 3 show her the small tree again......Screamed with fear!!
Looked up if there is a name for people suffering from fear of Christmas trees.......
Its called christougenniatiko dentrophobia..
Wonder if there is a support group nearby!!
