Corkbark jade

[JosephCooper]

I'm in the market for a small corkbark jade or even some unrooted cuttings. Any leads? It will be awhile before I can buy due to temps but I thought I should get feelers out.

The only place I found them were at the California Bonsai Studio, apparently they are mutants but have the corky bark nonetheless!

They are small and young but there are over a hundred of them!

Are all p. afras 'corkbark' or is that a specific kind?

They are supposedly a mutation of one tree I think. But no, not all are corkbark.

cork bark p. afra was a mutation. Frank Yee is the guy that made them available. I just got this one last week.

I'm going to try and find a little one to mess with I think. Ports grow in outside planters here so I should be able to find a way to keep one. I think I would be happy with a cutting.

Stickroot has some for sale in his thread Frank Yee Corkbark Ports on the selling forum.

Portulacaria afra? I've got a couple of them. I know Frank Yee will have them for sale at the Bonsai-a-thon at the Huntington Gardens in February.

That one belongs to Frank Yee... but he sells cuttings from it all the time. I had two plants that were cuttings from that tree, but I gave them to a friend when I left SoCal.
