If a tree gets struck by lightning but doesn't catch fire, will it still die?

if the the root is not damage it Will live

A lot of huge white pines in my area have been hit by lightening and survived. I know where there's two of them, one on each side of the road. The area had been logged off so they are alone in a big clearing. At first, only one had been hit by lightening. I felt sorry for it because the other one seemed to be saying, "Look at me, I'm still beautiful, blowing in the breeze, and your nothing". When I went back out there at the end of deer season the other one had been struck and was equal in height to the other one. They reminded me of two sisters. But yes, they do survive.

nine/tenths of the time it will die,,,,, but depends on species of the tree,,,,, some species can stand the lightening. Yes, I have seen trees that survived, example a blaggum tree and some maples.

yes, but only if the trees roots are still growing and it gets plenty of water. well i hope this helped you!

Yes the tree will survive, No the water isn't vaporized...I have evidence of that in my back yard! good luck...and talk to the garden store nursery guy or gal.

Nope... it won't die if the roots are undamaged... and if it doesn't catch fire, it's unlikely they are damaged.

I have seen a tree get get once a year, every year...and it is still alive today

Yes, I've seen redwood trees that have burned parts from lightning strikes and are hollow in the middle but still growing.

As long as the roots are still intact and it gets plenty of water for the next week..
