One-of-a-Kind Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade
Well-Ramified Dwarf Jade with Thick Bark and Balanced Canopy
This Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade shows off a tight silhouette, expressive trunk flare, and heavily corked bark throughout the base and primary branching. It’s a standout piece from our 2021 California trip—full of refinement and presence in a compact form.
Why it stands out:
-
Dense canopy structure – The branching is already well-developed, with pads that can be easily refined. There’s great spacing and layering already in motion.
-
Cork bark maturity – The bark is coarse and rugged, especially across the lower trunk and main branches. It’s not just beginning—it’s already made a statement.
-
Excellent taper and trunk mass – The tree displays a strong nebari, visible flare, and movement from the base upward, which gives it powerful visual weight despite its size.
-
Shohin-friendly proportions – Its scale and structure allow this to be trained and displayed as a compact bonsai or pushed into even tighter form.
-
Frank Yee origin – Like others from his garden, this tree is full of intention and aged character, chosen for its unique potential and bonsai value.
Whether you're continuing the refinement or enjoying it as-is, this Jade delivers age, texture, and artistic opportunity.
