Dwarf Jade Bonsai with a Forked Trunk and Tiered Pads in a Rustic Japanese Pot
Follow the trunk up and watch it split.
This Dwarf Jade forks low into two leaders, and each one carries its own tiers of small, rounded leaves. Pruning has tightened the foliage into distinct pads, so you can see the branch structure between them.
It stands 12" tall with a slim 8" spread, a good fit for a narrow windowsill. The 5.5" rustic Japanese pot has a textured, unglazed body with a splash of turquoise drip at the rim.
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 forked trunk gives this tree an informal, upright shape. Keep pinching the new growth to hold the pads tight, or let one leader grow on to build more height.
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.
We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.
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.
