Found this article and wanted to share, with all the buzz of exploding trees going around. Stay warm everyone!!

The internet is suddenly all abuzz over the possibility of exploding trees in the extreme cold.
There are many people who have likely lived in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest their whole life and have never seen or heard anything about exploding trees. Then comes 2026 and... the internet. The sudden interest seems to stem around a post, or a couple of posts, from different social meteorologists talking about the upcoming bitter cold for the Upper Midwest stating that exploding trees will be possible. I would wager that none of these folks have ever spent a winter in the far north.

Do trees explode in the extreme cold?
What we know: Well, don't bother hunkering down in your basement like you would during a tornado, because this isn't a widespread phenomenon. It is extremely rare. Think of this like winning the Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot. While it can and does happen, it is extremely rare.
During some extreme temperatures, especially with large and sudden drops or rises in or out of a deep freeze, the sap in trees can expand or contract very quickly. This could add extra pressure to the inside of the tree that it is unable
to handle, leading to a sudden split, crack, or sheer of wood and bark that often comes with a loud boom.

Does your house or apartment often creak or moan in the much colder
temperatures in the winter? It likely does, even if you've never noticed. It's the same reasoning, buildings contract in the "extreme" cold, leading to those weird sounds in the coldest of temps.

If you have questions or concerns with your trees, give us a call.
