Hmmm... not sure I understand what you are asking. Are you asking how a bolt of lightning can shatter a tree? This is because lightning causes a high electrical current through the tree and this will vaporize water in the tree. The rapidly expanding steam will cause the tree to explode.
Is this what you are asking?

the closest i can come to making sense of your question of 'why electrical flash brakes tree' would be 'why does lightning knock down trees'
if that is your question, then it is because a massive jolt of electricity will blow just about anything apart - on top of that trees absorb water--which is an extremely good electrical conductor
there is enough electricity in a bolt of lightning to blow a tree apart, run to the ground, and electrocute someone standing several yards away.
