The specialist they interviewed said that it is "extremely rare" and that he's never seen a tree explode.

"'Einstein didn’t think that black holes could be real [because] they’re just too weird,' Khanna said. 'But now we know the universe is teeming with black holes.”
For similar reasons, he added, 'we shouldn’t give up on extremal black holes. I just don’t want to put limits on nature’s creativity.'"
Consider, if you will, a spherical cow in sous-vide packaging...
