Anyone know what makes these trees better able to take the hit? Do they insulate their trunks and hope to channel the strike through parasitic vines and competing trees? Or do they grow some kind of highly conductive guide to easily channel the strike to ground? Neither seems plausible to me. The first perhaps is a bit less unlikely... I presume there is a third option that I missed.
