The invention relates to the field of agricultural planting, particularly relates to a zanthoxylum bungeanum tree planting method and provides an improved zanthoxylum bungeanum tree planting method. The zanthoxylum bungeanum tree planting method comprises steps as follows: (1), land preparation and ridging, to be more specific, leeward, sunward and fertile sandy loam with thick soil layer and gooddrainage performance is selected during seedling culture; (2), seed treatment, to be more specific, zanthoxylum bungeanum seed cases are hard and are oily and waxy, moisture cannot permeate into seeds easily, and the seeds are more difficult to germinate, so that degreasing treatment is required; (3), land preparation and sowing, to be more specific, a black sand land is selected in the time fromOctober to the time before freezing and is irrigated, and a base fertilizer containing equal content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is applied in two days; (4), seedling culture, to be more specific, seedlings germinate in May and June of the next year, after germination, the seedlings are watered when one cun tall, the temperature keeps in a range of 15-25 DEG C, and the seedlings are watered once each month; and (5), planting, to be more specific, planting is the key, the transplanting survival rate is the highest when buds just germinate, topdressing is performed for 2-3 times in the growth season, and topdressing and watering are combined in case of drought.
