The invention belongs to the technical field of forestry production, and relates to a camellia oleifera large tree shoot grafting method, in particular to a grafting method used in the crown changing process of camellia oleifera and the camellia grafting process of the camellia oleifera. The camellia oleifera large tree shoot grafting method includes the following steps of firstly, selecting the camellia oleifera with good growth vigour as a grafting rootstock; secondly, cutting off branches at the upper portion of the portion to be grafted and reserving branches at the lower portion of the portion to be grafted at the end of winter and the beginning of spring and before the camellia oleifera sprouts; thirdly, reserving two to four buds closest to a cut section and removing the rest of buds after the camellia oleifera sprouts; fourthly, cutting off the position, 2cm to 3cm away from the bud position, of a shoot to conduct grafting after the buds of the shoot grow into lignified branches, and completing the grafting process, wherein the grafting time is in autumn. According to the camellia oleifera large tree shoot grafting method, the grafting survival rate is improved, the problem that the rootstock is dry, cracks and is not long in service life after grafting survival is achieved is solved, and grafting can be conducted again on the basis that the primary grafting survival is not achieved.
