Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade – Shohin Potential & Rugged Bark No. 22880

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

Great Bark + Incredible Trunk Base – Ships or Pickup Available

Here’s a future showstopper just waiting for your final touch. This Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade already has incredible texture, tight branching, and an explosive base—but one smart cut away from the apex, and you’ve got a powerful shohin-style bonsai that could headline any shelf.

Why this tree stands out:

• Incredible bark texture – The base is heavily corked with deep fissures, aged coloration, and rugged charm already visible. This tree is already doing what most Jades take years to begin.

• Massive base + taper – That nebari and flare at the base give this tree presence. Even before reduction, it’s got the bones of a top-tier shohin.

• Ready for styling – The tall central leader was left intentionally to thicken the trunk—it can now be removed or reduced to shift the tree into a compact, powerful silhouette.

• Direct from Frank Yee’s collection – Like the rest of this limited series, this tree was hand-selected in 2021 during our visit to Frank Yee’s California home.

Whether you’re a collector, hobbyist, or someone looking to start strong in shohin bonsai, this one offers serious upside.
