non CP question

Sorry about the non CP nature of this post but I wanted to
tap this group's general knowledge of plants.

My father has an oak seedling that is about 4 inches
tall now and it has white leaves. They are as white
as paper and the 'bark' is almost pinkish. Sounds like
an albino to me but I have never heard of this before
in plants. Does this make sense? If it is an albino,
is it doomed to a short life because of the lack of
chlorophyll?
