[edit] This article is missleading
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.
[edit] 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)
