Good day all, has anyone in this forum seen anything like this. This is a spathodea campanulata with new growth on a cut limb that is growing back with completely white leaves. They're healthy, not fried out , not mildew and able to endure full sun with no burning. Leaf shape and size appars stunted, mutated growing directly out of the trunk where a new shoot was cut off. This is not a different plant growing from the earth or between roots, it is growing straight out of solid wood that has green growth 3 feet away. It's very unusual and I'm curious if anyone has seen anything like this. Zone 10 a , Iona, Florida. Thanks for your time.IMG_20260828_084641082_HDR.jpgIMG_20260828_084641082_HDR.jpgIMG_20260828_084646305_HDR.jpg

IMO, appears to be some random, errant growth ...Something i've seen pop out from otherwise healthy plants occasionally.


Looking at the last shot, you can see how it is already starting down the path to it's own demise, ...Most likely outcome at least... via older leaves at about the 3 o' clock position in the picture starting to brown out.. That will continue until whatever amount of energy it has left in that growth is exhausted.

Possibly, , I'll keep an eye on it. I'm going to post more photos in 2 weeks to see if it is thriving or not.
