One-of-a-Kind Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade Bonsai
Mature Cork Bark Jade with Strong Trunk Texture and Refined Silhouette
This Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade is a finished bonsai with real presence. The trunk displays deep, mature corking from the base upward, paired with a compact, well-managed canopy that gives the tree balance and visual weight. Planted in a yellow Yixing ceramic pot, this piece reads as intentional, complete, and ready for display.
Collected from Frank Yee’s garden, this tree reflects decades of selective growing—chosen for bark character, structure, and long-term bonsai value rather than speed or shortcuts.
Why it stands out:
-
Heavy cork bark texture – The trunk and primary branches show deep, established corking that adds age and rugged character throughout the composition.
-
Finished bonsai structure – This is not pre-bonsai. The canopy is already compact, readable, and proportioned to the trunk.
-
Classic proportions – Strong trunk mass with controlled branching creates a tree that feels grounded and stable from every angle.
-
Yellow Yixing ceramic pot – A high-quality ceramic that complements the bark texture and elevates the overall presentation.
-
Frank Yee origin – Selected from one of the most respected Jade growers in the U.S., known for patience, and cork bark development.
This is a tree you can enjoy immediately or continue refining slowly over time. Either way, the foundation is already there. Age, texture, and structure working together.
