I have alot of oak seedlings this year and one of them has all white leaves with a red trunk. I wonder if albino oaks are common or is it one of a kind? I wonder if any scientists or bonanists would be interested in it? I wonder.....

Etiolated seedlings are those which produce no chlorophyll- usually by not being in the presence of light. If it has been in light, but still does not produce chlorphyll, it will die shortly.

An albino oak tree would not be able to produce green pigment, therefore, would not be able to photosynthesize and would die. I have heard of albino pea plants, but the don't live longer than a week.
