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

And as I was writing the above I wish that the Mythbusters were still a thing. They could put the myth to the test. I wonder how much a tree would have to be mangled to get to explode.

"Now, consider a spherical tree in a vacuum. If you lower the temperature enough..."
