Reviews

Trees saved. Before and after pics

"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."

Robert C. (5/5)

Astonishing

"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."

Sid S. (5/5)

Excellent Product

"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."

Deborah M. (5/5)

Amazing results

"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!"

High Expectations

"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?"

Jonathan (5/5)

After consulting various sources regarding

"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"

It Works!

"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!"

Debra E. (5/5)

Going great thus far!

"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!"

Liquid Magic

"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."

Angela R. (5/5)

My trees look amazing!

"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."

Q&A

is Tree Secret non-toxic to animals?
Tree Secret is all natural and toxin free. It is safe to use around animals and pets :) We hope you give it a try!
I have arborvitae and boxwoods in containers on my deck. Three are less than 1" thick - would I use a much smaller amount since they are in containers vs in-ground? Thank you!
When applying to trees that are in containers it is important to be careful and not over-apply. It is a good rule of thumb to apply at half rate and then reapply if needed. Hope this helps!
I have a massive hedge of 4 10 ft tall by 6 ft wide yews that are around 40-50 yrs old. Since they are almost like trees, would I use the shrub measuring guide or the tree measuring guide to determine how much fertilizer to apply?
It would be best to measure them as you would a tree :) Hope this helps!
Hi, My Tree Secret bottles are in my shed. The weather got down to between 10 and 32 for several weeks this year (Zone 8A, Memphis, Tn 2024-25) will they still be useable. I want to feed my trees in a couple weeks.
Absolutely! Tree Secret can freeze and get hot without any problems. The nutrients are good for 3 years :) Hope this helps!
What is the dosage for white pines and balsams at mature stage. I have 36 trees. (tree secret)
The amount needed for best results depends on the diameter width of the tree trunk 4' up from the base of the tree. Use 1 cup per caliper inch of tree trunk (diameter), mix with water and evenly apply from the base of the tree to the drip line. Then water into the root zone. You will LOVE the results!

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Tree Secret® different from other fertilizers for trees?

Most tree fertilizers on the market use synthetic nitrogen that forces fast growth while weakening the tree. Instead of thinning cell walls with chemical fertilizers, Tree Secret® 4-1-2 feeds the soil microbes so they can break down and deliver nutrients at a biological level, supporting stronger root growth and enhanced nutrient availability. This promotes a healthier tree with fewer problems.

There is an array of essential amino acids, multiple sources of minerals, trace minerals, and micro trace minerals all in natural chelated forms. We have an array of organic acids from mineral extracts and have multiple sources of carbon. There is an assortment of sea plant extracts and some compounds found in sea fog that come from the respiration of sea plants, as well as other important plant components. All ingredients are transformed into a colloidal nutrient that is non-leaching and easy for microbes to consume, digest, and feed the plants at a biological level. You won't find a more complete solution; that's why we consider it the best fertilizer for trees on the market.

Can I use Tree Secret® on shrubs, bushes, and fruit trees?

Absolutely. Tree Secret® works on all types of woody plants, including deciduous trees, evergreens, fruit trees, shrubs, and bushes. Plants and bushes need the same nutrition as slow-growing trees, making this complete fertilizer the perfect choice for your entire landscape. Use it twice per year on stressed or dying trees and once per year for general maintenance. For larger trees, base your dosage on trunk diameter to make sure you're applying enough.

When is the best time to apply fertilizer for trees, and how do I know if my trees need it?

If you have not fertilized your trees yet this year, right now is always the best time to start improving your soil. Tree Secret can be applied anytime; however, it is best to apply in the spring and again in the fall to help trees store nutrients before winter. For established trees, one to two applications per growing season is typically enough. Signs of nutrient deficiency include pale or yellowing leaves, brown needles, stunted new growth, and a thin canopy. Tree Secret® is an excellent foundation for any tree care program because it delivers essential nutrients without the salt buildup and problems that come with synthetic options. We offer a full satisfaction guarantee & hope you give it a Try!
