Fan comment

"In the book Brian's Winter by Gary Paulsen the main character believes he is hearing gunshots, and walks toward them, and finds out that sound is made by exploding trees." <-- This should be noted as a spoiler.

This article is misleading

It opens with "Exploding trees are a fictional phenomena was the subject of a 2005 April Fools' Day hoax covered by National Public Radio"

However goes on to say some trees do explode. A hoax is purely triva when some trees do indeed explode, living in australia during large bushfires will ensure you realise its no hoax. During very intense fires they can really make a bang.

Don't forget "My Side of the Mountain"

There is also mention of exploding trees (caused by lots of ice, like inches thick) in "My Side of the Mountain" by Jean Craighead George. 64.201.196.77 00:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)GMMan (from BZFlag)[reply]

Subjective idealism

The sentence "Of course, maple trees have survived for millions of years on Earth, without human beings tapping them for maple syrup and without exploding nonetheless" would have provided George Berkeley with some sport! pablo_hablo. 08:50, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pressure

The article states:

The root pressure in a maple tree is approximately 0.1MPa, a tenth of one standard atmosphere

This is inconsistent. Standard atmospheric pressure is about 0.1MPa, so the should either be "approximately 0.01MPa, a tenth ..." or "approximately 0.1MPa, one standard atmosphere". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ligneus (talk • contribs) 13:15, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what I am doing on here but I heard on Internet Today that a recent heat wave caused a tree to explode. Might want to put it on here.

Contradiction with Eucalyptus article

This article claims that there is no evidence of trees exploding due to fire. However, the Eucalyptus article claims that ignited Eucalyptus trees have been known to explode. Only one of these statements can be correct, and one of the articles should be corrected to match the other. 2601:280:C980:8BA0:D0F1:7934:5ECF:5AC4 (talk) 06:56, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
