The invention discloses a planting method of camellia oleifera. The planting method comprises the following steps: a, planting land selection, namely selecting a planting region with the altitude of 300-500 m, gentle ground slope and fertile soil, preferably, a black land, and secondly, a loessland; and b, land treatment, namely firstly, reclaiming the land selected in step a by using a chain sawblade, completely clearing weeds, vines and the like in a camellia oleifera forest, then, carrying out rotary tillage on a deep position of soil by using a rotary tiller, smashing soil lumps, ridgingthe soil, and carrying out secondary reclamation in autumn. The planting method has the beneficial effects that the planting and cultivation processes of camellia oleifera are planned as a whole, so that the camellia oleifera has relatively high water storage and drainage values, the camellia oleifera not only can be guaranteed to have enough high water storage capacity in a drought season, but also can be guaranteed to have enough high water drainage capacity in a rainy season, and the phenomenon that roots of camellia oleifera trees are rotten due to rainwater accumulation can be avoided. The planting method disclosed by the invention can also be used for improving the insect prevention capacity of the camellia oleifera trees and improving the fruiting quality of the camellia oleifera, so that the economic benefit is increased.
