I’m sure it happens to a variety of species. Here in CA, the Valley Oak is a glorious tree. They can live 1,000 years and get maybe 70 feet tall and wide. It’s rare, but under just the right conditions in high summer temperatures they can also explode. Never seen it happen but I’ve seen trees to which it happened
As I recall, there is also an extreme weather condition known as a Chinook in which a sudden warm wind causes cold trees to crack open, sometimes with a sharp report.
