Forty years of experimentation lead to the product we now call Tree Secret®; this one of a kind tree fertilizer is a fermented blend of over 60 pure ingredients that create a special nutrient cluster which allow the tree to more easily absorb the vital nutrients needed to be high quality, strong, and problem free.....applying Tree Secret® is very similar to the process we see in nature when a tree feeds on the nutrients from composted leaves found on the forest floor.
When you apply Tree Secret® vitamins for trees you are doing much more than tree fertilizing; you are feeding it all the nutrition that the tree needs to be happy from the roots on up. Tests by microbiologists at Boise State University showed that 24 hours after tree fertilizing with Dr. JimZ®, there was an increase of 70 percent in beneficial bacteria in the soil. After a week, there was a 400 percent increase. This organic matter in the soil sets the stage for solid trees with beautiful color that yield increased amounts of delicious fruit.
We call our nutrients Biologically Correct because they are designed to stimulate microbial life in the soil and supply nutrients at a biological level. When your trees recieve nutrients at a biological level everything improves!
Traditional nutrients for trees are aimed at quick growth. “You can force-feed a plant by applying high doses of water-soluble fertilizer, and get a 10-foot tall rose bush. But the quality of the roses may not be what you want. Plants like roses may become more susceptible to aphids, because rapid growth means thin cell walls, and it is easier for the aphids to attack. Today's organic gardeners understand this.” - Jos Zamzow
The solution to weak trees and over-fertilized bushes is to feed them with the proper nutrient clusters they need to heal themselves and strengthen their immune system (yes, trees and bushes have immune systems too). So, if your trees and bushes look like they could use a little help, or if you just want to make your beautiful yard even more stunning.... there is nothing better than Tree Secret® nutrients for trees. This is mother natures premium cocktail for extraordinary results!
The story of Tree Secret® began more than 20 years ago when Boise nursery owner Jim Zamzow, whose friends affectionately dubbed him “Dr. Jim” because of his constant experimentation, started giving customers at his Idaho nursery a brown liquid organic fertilizer in used two-liter soda bottles.
Tree Secret was so successful, especially for growing fruit trees and improving soil in the vegetable garden, that customers soon had to bring their own bottles if they wanted more of the nutrient rich super fertilizer. By mid-summer the 55-gallon drum that contained the experimental batch of vitamins for trees was empty.
Last year customers bought more than 90,000 gallons of Tree Secret®... .and we have now officially sold over 1 million units. We feel good that we have been able to help so many people with tree nutrients over the years. It is our goal to help make the world a better place by providing the best possible alternative to chemical fertilizer.
Use in your yard for stronger trees, robust bushes, and beautiful perennials! Use in your garden for big, delicious fruits and vegetables!

"The internet is full of miracle tree tonics and liquid fertilizers that promise to promote rapid growth, root system expansion, and improve tree health. Dr. JimZ’s Tree Secret actually does this.I initially bought it as a last-ditch effort to save a Japanese Cedar that suffered from a great deal of browning anddying foliage over the winter.I was nervous about using fertilizer to promote rapid growth on a weakened tree. I was impressed with the idea of an undiluted, biologically correct, organic tree fertilizer that focused on providing nutrients for long-lasting tree health.After a few weeks, I was so impressed with the results that I bought two more gallons.I’ve so far used it on six trees with great results, but none so dramatic as the initial Japanese Cedar. I've already bought sevenmore gallons for fertilizationthisfall and make this a regular part of my tree maintenance for struggling tree or those where I’m seeking to promote long-term growth beyond what I feel traditional fertilizers can provide.Tip: I’ve found out through as support email that using Tree Secret once a year is good to promote growth, while doing so twice a year (in Spring and Fall) is ideal to save a weakened tree." - Alexander A.
"I got these trees green giant arborvities put in back in 2018. I started using the Tree Secret fall of 2019. By spring of 2020 I could see the results. The last picture is spring of 2022 after using the Tree Secret every early fall. By spring time every year I see remarkable growth. My trees are a barrier because there's a house right behind me. When I go into the yard now the neighbors behind me can't see me. The landscaper recently put in trees on the side of my yard. They are quite small. He said whatever you did for those trees in the back, do for these!" -Troy T.

"I sent a branch of my cypress trees that were dying to our extension office. Report came back with a “ fungal canker” diagnosis. Anti fungal sprays would not be effective. I used your tree secret, and they have never looked better."
"In 2022, my Magnolia suffered massive ice damage following a winter storm and we thought she was done. I decided to buy Dr Jimz Tree Secret to give it a try. The results have been spectacular. This product is a miracle worker on trees. I am so grateful for this product, it saved a magnificent tree. Full tree pics are from today (July 2026). Thank you again."
"I have been looking for something to save my bushes. After planting 30 bushes some of them began to die. I researched the Internet and found this wonderful product. My bushes are now thriving. thanks Dr. Jim Z. Forever grateful."
"I used this product on several of my trees after a harsh winter . This holly had deer damage and I was going to replace them as they’re at my front door and looked awful. I tried this and I cannot believe how they have come back! You can see the bottom was almost gone in 2 months the transformation is unbelievable. I have also used on burning bush that was transferred and we are starting to see some results. The product is pricey especially if you have larger properties with lots of tree but it does work!"
"This July of 2026, my transplanted Red Cedars are failing to thrive. As a last-ditch effort to save them, I applied Tree Secret as directed, but it's too early to see any improvement. Since these trees like poor soil, would a second application be beneficial?"
"After consulting various sources regarding the condition of one of my Blue Spruces, I used a topical insecticide, a systemic insecticide, then a copper spray, my tree just kept losing needles and turning brown on the interior working out to the outer branches. I ordered Dr. Jimz, tried a bottle and within a month it was filling back in, the needles were turning the normal hugh of blue. So I decided to apply another bottle this summer. Thank you, Dr. Jimz"
"I bought a bottle of the Tree Secret tree fertilizer for my Arborvitaes, Japanese Maples, and other trees in my yard. My Arborvitaes greened up and thickened up starting two weeks later! Will definitely be using again!"
"We have had about 12 Baby Giant Arborvitae Trees that have been struggling since planting a year ago. We live in Western KY, and it had been fairly dry last year and this year, but we have always kept them watered. My wife found this product and asked me to try it, you see, she wants these trees to grow rapidly to give us privacy from our ignorant neighbors. I applied the fertilizer this spring, and have mixed a small amount weekly with our watering schedule. The trees have filled out so much better, and have really grown at least a foot taller thus far. It will be exciting to see what they look like at the year mark. Well keep you updated!"
"I purchased dr JimZ tree secret after seeing constant ads on facebook and in particular, an add showing an evergreen that recovered after using this product. I took my chances last spring with an Alberta spruce that was almost dead and it recovered amazingly. This spring I bought several bottles for new trees I’ve planted and some old ones that weren’t doing great. It’s absolutely visible the difference and even my husband reminds me to buy it yearly. I also tried houseplant magic on my indoor plants, and it also worked like magic. A photos that was stringy with very little leaves revived and leaves started popping up throughout the stems. Truly works."
"I live in a high altitude desert environment that is very hard on all my trees. I used Tree Secret and wow what a difference. My sycamore tree look pathetic and I figured I would need to cut it down soon. Last year at this time it was producing spare and small leaves. This year it's a healthier tree. All my trees are more vibrant in their colors."
