The invention provides a thin-shell pecan cultivation method. The method comprises the following steps that 1, rootstock seedlings are cultured; 2, the rootstock seedlings are managed before grafting;3, scion branch treatment is conducted, wherein lignified or semi-lignified current-year branches which grow and develop healthily are collected to serve as scion branches, compound leaves are removed, petioles which are 2-3 cm long are reserved, the upper portion and the lower portion of each scion bud are transversely cut once, the two sides of each scion bud are longitudinally cut once, longitudinal and transverse cuts are connected, bud slices are slightly peeled, and then the bud slices are soaked with a plant growth regulator solution; 4, grafting is conducted, wherein the scion branches are vertically inserted into rootstock notches at the daily average temperature of 25-30 DEG C before the rainy season comes and are tightly bound by means of plastic strips from bottom to top, 1-3leaves are reserved above each rootstock notch for rootstock cutting, and all leaves below the notches are removed; 5, grafting seedlings are managed. The cultivation method increases the germinationrate of thin-shell pecans, and the grafting seedlings has the advantages that the survival rate is high, growth vigor is strong, the seedling rate is high, the growth of the seedlings is uniform and consistent and the root system is developed.
