What is wrong with my lemon tree?

Marcin Mazurkiewicz

Hi guys,

I planted several lemon trees from seed. All from the same lemon. All of them are nice and green except from this one (see picture). Does anyone know what causes it?

Regards

Marcin

I don't know

Those 2 leaves are so pretty., If the new leaves come on that way you'll have something very interesting.

It's an albino seedling, generated most probable be some fungal infection, after germination. It's common to see 1 or 2 % albino seedlings, especially for lemon. If it remains white, it will die after the cotiledon food reserve is exhausted.

in your case the 2 green leave could keep your plant going for more than a year but with little growth.

Looks like a variegated citrus. It might be fine.
