What would cause this not unattractive variagation in a Quercus robur?

 

It was only a few leaves affected out of the entire sapling so I don't think it's a true "sport" and the area it was in means there was no chance that it was pesticide damage.

 

Viral damage, pehaps? Dog wee, even???

that aint no robur either!

 

Yeah, I know :blushing:

 

It was a sapling I saw earlier today and I wrote the text without looking at the pics and refreshing my memory!

 

So, well done for spotting the deliberate mistake and pointing out it is actually a cerris.

I don't think it is a sport. The rest of the leaves proximal to the ones shown are green and so are the more apical ones.

 

Even if it was a hightly valuable sport I wouldn't have a hope in hell's chance of finding it again anyway.

Janey, I PROMISE you this is a natural non biotic variation, no bugs, just nature at its most "imaginative" just a few cells lacking chlorophyll that's all:001_cool:

 

nature is a mysterious and wonderful thing:thumbup:
