That looks like a virus.
That was my first thought as well. I checked it closer and it looked way too healthy and the white patches are very similar to other variegated trees. All the damage to the leaves happend during and after I dug it out.
I'm keeping it away from other trees in a pot just in case. I will see what happens next year. I could try to infect another seedling by inoculating part of the plant tissue. Green lower laying leaves are suspicious, but it could be just low light while under leaf litter.
