Thick-Trunk Dwarf Jade Bonsai with a Layered Canopy in a Rustic Japanese Pot
This one has the trunk.
A thick, ringed base rises into a broad canopy built in layers, with a wide lower tier and a smaller crown on top. Years of pruning have filled in the pads with small, rounded leaves.
It stands 12" tall and spreads 10" across, in a 7" rustic Japanese pot with a textured, unglazed body and a turquoise drip accent.
This is the exact Dwarf Jade bonsai you will receive, in its pictured pot.

About This Tree
Dwarf Jade is our number-one-selling bonsai species, and it’s easy to see why. It’s forgiving, grows quickly in warm conditions, and responds extremely well to pruning.
The layered canopy already reads like a much older tree. Keep trimming the tips to hold the layers apart, and the trunk will keep thickening as it grows.
Care Notes
Give your Dwarf Jade as much bright light as you can, ideally a sunny window indoors or full sun outside in warm weather. Water thoroughly, then let the soil dry out a bit before watering again. It stores water in its leaves, so it handles a missed watering far better than constant wet soil. Bring it indoors before nights drop below 50°F.
Please Note
All trees are sold as-is. All sales are final. No refunds, returns, or exchanges. Once the tree leaves our nursery, care is your responsibility. Have questions? Just reach out. We’re happy to help.

Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.
