I don't see this as any kind of biological problem at all. Its inorganic all
the way. The lightning doesn't value a tree at all because it is biological.
I'm not sure why lightning strikes (hey but i'll check it out -see the web
site HOW THINGS WORK at
http://landau1.phys.virginia.edu/Education/Teaching/HowThingsWork/) , but I
don't think it has to do with the fact that a tree is a plant. The inorganic
properties of the tree will value it being hit.
