The invention discloses a method for movement and rejuvenation of old trees and belongs to the field of transplantation of old trees and big trees. The method comprises the steps that 1, the old treesare subjected to mathematical modeling; 2, the crowns of the old trees are pruned; 3, according to a mathematical modeling result, lump digging contour lines are marked on the surrounding ground where the trunks are located, lump digging operation is conducted along the outer edges of the lump digging contour lines, root breaking grooves are dug accordingly, and cylindrical soil lumps are formed;4, the cylindrical soil lumps are subjected to root pruning operation, and apple-shaped soil lumps are formed; 5, beams are transversely inserted in the bottoms of the apple-shaped soil lumps in thehorizontal direction and connected to form a first base; 6, a second base is assembled on a carrying plate of a semitrailer; 7, hoisting equipment is used for hoisting the first base, the big trees are lifted accordingly, and the first base is moved to the carrying plate of the semitrailer; 8, the old trees are lain down, and the apple-shaped soil lumps are placed on the second base; 9, the old trees are transported to planting points for unloading, loading and planting.
