The invention discloses a planting method for tea-oil trees. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) selecting soil and an area, building horizontal steps on a slope around a mountain, digging drainage ditches on the inner sides of the steps, and digging pits at fixed points according to a planting distance, wherein the pits are arranged to form delta shapes; (2) after the pits are dug, properly applying garbage tankage, rice straws, dicranopteris pedata and farmyard manure, wherein base fertilizers are required to be deeply applied; (3) during the blossoming of the tea-oil trees, marking early blossoming type plants of a selected tea-oil tree variety, selecting high-yield and high-premonition plants from the marked plants when fruits are matured in the next type, and picking mature and full tea-oil tree seeds; (4) sowing the seeds from every early November to February of the next year, wherein germination is accelerated and the seeds are sown after the seeds are sterilized; (5) after the seeds come up, selecting seedlings, and filling gaps with the seedlings; and (6) after the tea-oil trees are fruited, applying the farmyard manure and a compound fertilizer or a phosphate fertilizer, a potash fertilizer and urine in every May to July. The problems of irrational structure of a planting structure, low oil yield, shortage of scientific management and the like of the conventional tea-oil tree planting process are solved.
