Ficus benjamina mutant

This tree consistently has new flushes of leaves that take many months to develop chlorophyll. For the first couple of years I lived here I assumed it was suffering a nutrient deficiency, but I have come to the tentative conclusion that it is in fact a genetic mutant.

 

The continuous rain had fogged my camera lens.
