One-of-a-Kind Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade
Well-Developed Dwarf Jade with Dynamic Movement and Mature Bark
This Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade bonsai immediately draws the eye with its sweeping trunk line, natural taper, and mature bark development. Its structure is a study in motion—elegant, balanced, and loaded with character.
Why it stands out:
-
Distinct movement and branch flow – The tree has a beautiful arched trunk that transitions gracefully into secondary branching. It’s dynamic but still clean, making it perfect for refinement.
-
Mature corking underway – Bark has already formed across much of the trunk and primary branches. As this continues to develop, the tree will take on even more visual weight and age.
-
Shohin potential – With a strong foundation and excellent proportions, this tree can remain compact or be further styled as a shohin with a distinct, bold silhouette.
-
Frank Yee legacy – Like others from this collection, this tree came from our 2021 trip to Frank Yee’s California garden—each piece selected for quality and long-term potential.
This tree combines strong design with the right amount of maturity and flexibility. It’s ready to be enjoyed now or pushed further with creative styling.
