In 1972, I was on a cross-Regional Fire Crew (Hotshots) in Clarkia, Idaho St. Joe National Forest. Our work was to be ready to deploy on 15 minutes notice to fly wherever we were needed to fight against forest fires. In August This year, we flew to Monterey, CA to fight a fire in the south of redwood and manzanita brush at the edge of the mountains.
During the sweep phase of this fire, just above Big Sur, I was called down into a canyon by my fellow firefighters. I the only person in the crew who had a degree in forestry and working on my master's degree in forest science at Yale University. They had spotted a strange tree that defied rational description.
In a canyon sequoia (Sequoia sempvirens), which had foliage that is completely white, not green as one might think. The tree was not a small plant for a year or two, but rather a tree that was about 16 feet high. Now remember if a tree has no green leaves, then it can not take water from sunlight and the elements and turn it into nutritious food for the tree (photosynthesis). Well, simply, if the tree has no green chlorophyll in its leaves, it die.
So what is the reason that the tree foliage was white and yet he was still alive? First, there was a genetic abnormality in the tree so that the tree has no chlorophyll. Secondly, she had to survive, but how? The only explanation I can give is that had a transplant of a redwood tree root to normal production. Thus, it was essentially a parasite and took his nutrents from a healthy tree and it how he survived. Without this transplant root, he died very early in its life cycle.
It is rare but not unknown, for the trees have a white canopy chlorophyll without life support, but they do not live long, only a few years. This tree is still alive? It is doubtful. As the tree grows the more it requires increased amounts of nutrients. Finally, donors will be unable to meet the high demand for nutrients and the tree parasites die.
I still have pictures of this tree and some leaves from the sample. It was an unforgettable experience for anyone schooled in botany and forestry, as they say in the natural science. never say never.
