The invention relates to a Hanfu apple short-stem high-crown planting method, which comprises the following process steps of: 1, selecting a piece of land; 2, performing land preparation; 3, digging planting ditches, wherein the depth of the ditches is 0.8 meter, the width of the ditches is 0.6 to 0.7 meter, the depth of dug holes is 0.8 meter, the diameter of the dug holes is 1 meter, the dug holes are circular or square, and surface soil and subsoil are stacked respectively so as not to make soil layers confused; 4, performing land preparation in autumn or before winter; and 5, after digging the planting ditches (holes), spreading a layer of deadwood and disordered leaves such as straws or weeds on the ditches, backfilling the subsoil for settling, backfilling the surface soil for ridging, and planting apple nursery stocks in ridges which is 0.5 to 0.6 meter higher than the ground. The apple tree planting method has the advantages of improving the illuminated area of planted nursery stocks, improving the utilization rate of sunlight, increasing ground temperature and making the root systems of the nursery stocks quickly recover calli to absorb nutrients.
