      Have heard trees - especially elms - make isolated loud popping or cracking sounds, but only when the temperature approaches - 35 C or colder. Have never heard of or have seen a tree explode from the cold.

        Have never seen this or heard it. On the other hand, hearing contracting metal at night when it’s super cold is down right haunting.

              At that temperature you may want to stop and listen to the elms. 🌳
