Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade – Upright Form with Intense Bark - No. 22839

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

Upright Bonsai with Bark Like a 30-Year-Old Tree – Ships or Pick Up at NEBG

This Frank Yee Cork Bark Jade delivers all the bonsai gravitas in a compact form. It has a strong, upright trunk that commands attention—and bark so deeply textured, you’d think it’s twice its age.

What makes this tree special?

• Exceptionally corked trunk—Deep fissures and texture run straight up the main trunk and radiate out across the primary branches. This is the kind of bark jade collectors wait years for—and it's already here.

• Elegant upright form—Unlike bushier Cork Bark Jades, this one has a clean silhouette and structured branching that brings out the tree’s full height and visual weight.

• Fine branching and leaf pad potential—The canopy is dense with short internodes and well-positioned growth—ready for refinement, styling, or appreciation as-is.

• Bonsai lineage you can trust—This tree was one of nearly 100 hand-selected from Frank Yee’s personal collection during our 2021 California visit.

Tough, forgiving, and drought-tolerant, this tree is as easy to care for as any Dwarf Mini Jade—but visually in a class of its own.
