The trees explode when the water inside is super heated by the heat of the electricity traveling through it. The escaping steam has no place to go, so it explodes outward.

Water.
The lightning instantly turns the water trapped in the cells of the tree into steam. The rapid expansion causes the tree to literally blow apart.

Steam. The water present in the tree as sap, is instantly turned to steam by the heat. When water turns to steam, it expands.
