Tasmanian native bonsai artist Jarryd Bailey says the practice brings a sense of peace to a busy world — but it isn't without its challenges.

"If you're growing from seed or cutting it might take five or six years to get something to a saleable point or to a point where it's reflective of a tree," he said.

"You can take short cuts like going to a nursery and buying a more advanced tree and going from there." His advice to those apprehensive about growing bonsai was to seek advice and get tips and tricks from a bonsai society."Bonsai require all the elements a tree growing in the wild requires — clean air, sunshine, and some trees might need shade.

"The primary thing people slip up with is the watering, the trees are in small pots so over summer you might be watering twice or three times a day.""The aesthetics of bonsai is to take a plant or a tree and turn it into something that is a work of art."
