Subject: Grafting Albino Live Oak

I know of a live oak that has an albino gene. Evidently there is also
another nearby tree (or else self pollination is taking place) that
also has an albino gene, because many of the seedlings at the base of
this tree are albinos.

Unfortunately, since the leaves do not provide nourishment to the baby
trees, they soon die, after producing only a half dozen or so leaves,
no doubt the full power of a single acorn. I would like to graft one
of these plants onto a green live oak but need some advice on how best
to do this on so young a plant, if it is even possible. Any
suggestions?
