One-of-a-Kind Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade
Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade – Compact Canopy & Early Bark Formation
Balanced Shohin-Style Bonsai with Tight Growth and Emerging Character
This Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade is already showing the hallmark signs of age and refinement. The structure is compact, the foliage is dense, and early signs of corking are appearing—making this a perfect piece for collectors who want something that feels finished but still has room to evolve.
Why it stands out:
- Starting to cork – Bark development is underway around the base and lower trunk, signaling the start of long-term visual maturity.
- Compact with canopy density – The canopy is full and lush, giving it a strong silhouette that’s easy to maintain or evolve into a formal shohin style.
- Multiple branches and apexes – Already branching in several directions, this tree invites selective refinement or can be left to grow naturally.
- Hand-selected Frank Yee original – From our 2021 visit to Frank’s garden, this tree was chosen for its potential and proportion.
If you’re looking for a Dwarf Jade bonsai that’s easy to care for, already visually rewarding, and just getting started with corking—this is the one. The fat base and tight canopy offer great structure and long-term appeal.
