One-of-a-Kind Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade
Refined Bonsai with Early Corking – Ships or Pickup Available
This Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade is the perfect bridge between refined and raw potential. It’s already shaped beautifully, with a soft broom-style canopy, short internodes, and branch movement—and just beginning to show signs of corking on the trunk.
Why it stands out:
-
Early-stage bark development – Corking is beginning to form around the lower trunk and root flare. Over time, this bark will deepen and spread, aging the tree beautifully.
-
Well-developed structure – This isn’t just a young Jade in training. It already has great proportions, a clean silhouette, and compact growth that suggests years of refinement.
-
Dense canopy with styling options – Whether you want to keep the informal upright shape or evolve it into a tighter shohin form, this tree gives you a solid foundation either way.
-
Frank Yee pedigree – Like the others in this collection, this tree was handpicked during our 2021 visit to Frank Yee’s home in California—part of a rare, limited group.
This is a fantastic option for someone who wants a ready-to-enjoy tree that still has room to evolve and age into something even more remarkable.
