Or is it Albinoism? Anyway, I collected seed from a local Poncirus last fall and stratified the seed. In all, 34 germinated. Of that 4 sprouted and were (or are)albino. Since that time two of the "albino" seedlings have developed some chlorophyll in the form of spots or streaks in the stem and leaves.
I find it very odd that such a large percentage of seedlings would be albino, at least in the first 3-5 months of life, then develop chorophyll. Could this be planting media related? genetic? or what?
It's quite interesting to watch these seedlings develop, I'm almost hoping the two that have developed the speckled foliage remain that way as they are quite striking.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this phenomenon.
