Disclosed is a eucommia ulmoides planting method. The method comprises the following steps that a barren mountain with neutral soil with the good loosened and drainage effect and sufficient sunlight is selected; seedlings with no disease and pest infection and with the stem height being 55-65 cm are selected; the transplanting distance is 2.5*2 m, the hole depth is 60-65 cm, 4-5 kg of farm manure, 1-2 kg of compound fertilizer and 0.4-0.6 kg of urea are applied to each hole, and the selected eucommia ulmoides seedlings are placed into the holes; in every spring, soil cultivation and weeding are performed on the periphery of eucommia ulmoides; in every winter, lateral branches at the lower portion of a crown are sheared off, growth of a main branch is promoted, the dry skin yield is increased, droopy branches, disease and pest branches and blight branches are sheared off, and the crown is ventilated and light permeable; plants grow to 8-12 year to form a harvesting starting period, and harvesting is performed according to girdling regeneration. According to the eucommia ulmoides planting method, starting from the eucommia ulmoides growth characteristics, conditions needed by eucommia ulmoides growth are provided for scientific and reasonable coordination, robust growth of eucommia ulmoides is ensured, the eucommia ulmoides planting survival rate is ensured, the eucommia ulmoides yield is greatly increased, and the eucommia ulmoides quality is better ensured.
