Do you have cats and are they peeing on it? If so, that itself will kill the tree. Generally the only thing that will take out the smell of cat urine is chemicals and you really can not put them kind of chemicals on it without killing it.

you have a problem with cat pee? What you dont like that smell? :)

If this is an outdoor tree and a cat is marking it, I suggest spraying around it with lemon juice. For some reason cats cannot stand citrus... and the lemon sent will mask the urine smell. And if the cats stop spraying, mission accomplished.

Kill the cats that are urinating on the tree, and no more problem. +5 for the question.

Water it every morning...you can put pine tree leaves in the water (give it some time) ...it might take the smell away and you don't harm the tree. Hugs, maramel

Is it this tree? http://www.naturalbiodiversity.org/biobullies/downloads/Tree-of-Heaven.pdf ... or this? http://www.bio.brandeis.edu/fieldbio/pkenlan/HTML/Pinaceae/picea_glauca.html ... Other possible causes and solutions: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/721439/ Sure it's the tree? From "Other evidence of meth lab activity in your area may include a strong odor that smells like cat urine, ether, ammonia or acetone around buildings or vehicles, attempts to reinforce doors and blacken out windows, and unusual amounts of activity into and out of residences." My neighbor just put in some red mulch, and we had the smell of cat urine in the house for a few days, until he spread it out, and it dried. It's like the brown mulch impregnated with manure... The smell goes away. (That's only if it's mulch.) Then again, we have another neighbor with a tree that tends to smell (a different way) when it's flowering. When the petals fall off, it stops smelling.

You should spray it with febreeze

The smell of cat urine outdoors will go away by itself in a little while, without doing anything. Give it time and don't worry about it. A male cat that's not neutered has a strong hormonal smell in its urine when it's in heat; if that's the cause, it will obviously also go away when the cat's not mating anymore. The best thing is to neuter a male cat, partly because of the hormone odor. Are you sure a person isn't urinating on the tree? All urine smells the same.
