Albino Redwood Poem by Ima Ryma

Though rare this type of tree does be,
A mutation can occur and
Is an albino redwood tree,
That humans seek to understand.
This tree is missing needed cells
To produce its own food, and so
Other trees near where this one dwells
Through roots share food to let it grow.
These albino redwood trees can,
Thanks to the help of trees around,
Live a long and healthy lifespan.
They are a sight that does astound.

Unable to harvest sunlight,
This evergreen is ever white.
