Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.
the reason it’s rare is because without chlorophyll, the plant can’t get energy, and dies shortly after sprouting unless it has some other source of food. so if you see a plant as big as the one in the picture that doesn’t have any green in its leaves, it’s getting its nutrition from the roots of a neighboring plant of the same species, feeding on the sugars created by the other plant’s photosynthesis.
albino plants are basically vampires.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your submission in our National Geographic article contest. Unfortunately your article “God Doesn’t Exist Because Ted 2 Does” cannot be accepted as a legitimate scientific article. Furthermore, all submissions must be at least 2-5 pages long, instead you only provided one line. “No merciful god would ever subject his creations to such cruelty.” Once again, not a legitimate scientific inquiry. We apologize if we were unclear about what we were looking for, and wish you the best of luck in any further ventures. Thank you

When I was younger, I used to hate my body, and I believed lies that only toe me down. I believed that I was too dark and too fat to be beautiful. I let that mentality stop me from a lot of things, things as small as laughing to loud to as big as not applying for certain jobs. I was in a self hate cycle until I decided that I didn’t want to live my life in the shadows of those lies. I wanted to live a full life. It’s been a hard road, and it continues to be struggle sine days, still, but I’m learning to love who I am, even the parts that I hated. I love my big body, I love my natural hair, and I love my dark skin. And I thank movements like #blackout day that encourages this self love
