An “albino” redwood

Technically, albinism means lacking melanin, so a plant cannot be an
albino. They do however have their own version – a plant that lacks
chlorophyll. They are unable to photosynthesize, so must live
parasitically off of other redwood trees in order to survive.

There are only approximately 60 “albino” redwoods known and their locations are kept top secret.
