Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade 'Portulacaria Afra' Pre-Bonsai - No. 22587

One-of-a-Kind Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade

Powerful Nebari + Mature Canopy – Ships or Pick Up at NEBG

Here’s a showstopper with true presence. This Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade has everything going for it—chunky bark, a sweeping canopy, and a killer nebari that anchors it with age and authority. It's compact, but commands attention like a much older tree.

What makes it special?

• Explosive bark texture—The corking is already aggressive on the trunk and lower branches, showcasing the ruggedness that bonsai collectors dream about.

• Unreal nebari—This base flares wide and low, giving the tree stability and visual weight beyond its size.

• Beautiful branching—Each branch shows natural taper and age, and the canopy has been developed with care to create fullness without crowding.

• Easy-care species—Despite its drama, this is still a Dwarf Mini Jade at heart: drought-tolerant, forgiving, and nearly foolproof.

This tree is one of the original specimens brought back from NEBG’s 2021 visit to Frank Yee’s California home. Each one was hand-selected, but this one stood out for its nebari and branch structure—and it’s only going to get better from here.
