I have been observing my plant for about 2-3 weeks. I have noticed that the new leaves are quite bright in color, different from the other plants I have grown from seed. I suspect that it may be a variegated plant. Please advise.

Nope usually the first leaf is a good indication if anything albinism, but most likely nutrient deficiency. But tag it you never know your luck in a big city!

Thank you for your information.  All tree in this picture is Chambeyronia macrocarpa. One is different that I saw.

I think that it will die but would be happy to be prooved wrong! I have had a few palm seedlings do this and it never ended well.

I agree. My guess is it will eventually succumb. It’s a genetic defect. What’s weird is they grow ok and then all of a sudden out of nowhere….death. As @richnorm stated, hopefully we are wrong. Good luck with it.
