Frank Yee Dwarf Jade – Upright Form with Early Corking No. 22557

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

Early Trunk Development from a Frank Yee Cutting

This 4-year-old Dwarf Jade (Portulacaria afra) was grown from a cutting taken during our 2021 visit to Frank Yee’s renowned California garden. It’s just beginning to show signs of corking—a promising indicator of future character and age. This upright specimen has a strong central leader with well-balanced branching, ideal for developing into a formal upright or informal upright design.

Why it stands out:

• Frank Yee genetics – Grown from a cutting of Frank’s legendary cork bark line, this tree inherits his meticulous standards for taper, vigor, and form.

• Upright structure with natural movement – A strong central trunk with branching that’s already beginning to define direction and silhouette.

• Early signs of corking – Bark texture is just starting to break, signaling it’s on the path toward the coveted cork bark character.

• Indoor-friendly bonsai – This Dwarf Jade thrives in bright indoor spaces and is exceptionally forgiving for newer bonsai enthusiasts.

Perfect for growers who want to shape a future showpiece while enjoying the process of refinement. Premium stock with real long-term potential.
