If a tree breaks wind in the forest do we smell it in the city.

Yes, up to farty miles away.

It really depends of what type of tree is breaking wind...
Ugly Pinetree - NO - Plain Jane type - One-second duration, but pungent odor cloud with only a 5-foot radius. Your standard, everyday, friendly wind breaker.
Giant Sequoia - YES - Gunshot type - explodes into billions of virulent odor molecules. Gunshot wind breaks are relatively rare but, like guns, very dangerous.
Weeping Willow - NO - Worrier/Cryer - The kind that seems to break wind right up to the point at which it's released. At this stage, matters become less sure, and things feels too solid for comfort. Weeping willows never wear white trunks!
Dishonest Maple - YES - SBD type (Silent but deadly) Totally inaudible but somehow causes all the occupants in a nearby city to collapse. Smell is undefined because nasal investigators haven't had time to analyze the odor before passing out. (This one is also known as SBL: Silent But Lethal and Toxic Assassin.) - Blames it on the next Dog taking a pee on it's trunk!
