The invention relates to a cultivation method for camphor trees. The cultivation method comprises the following steps of first, collecting and storing seeds; second, carrying out seeding, soaking seeds for three to four hours for sterilization by utilizing 0.1% Bromogeramine solution before seeding, utilizing warm water at 50-60 DEG C for accelerating germination, and keeping the water temperature; third, growing seedlings, removing coverings in time after the seedlings come out of soil, and when the seedlings grow two to three true leaves, conducting thinning; conducting distribution and management work of intertilling, weeding, ridging, topdressing, irrigating, insect disease preventing and the like in seedling cultivation; conducting no less than three times of seedling nurture in one year, conducting one to two times of seedling nurture in the second year, and applying animal manure 30t/hm<2> to a bed face in winter; fourth, carrying out transplanting; fifth, carrying out watering; sixth, controlling pests. The rate of survival of the camphor trees cultured through the cultivation method is effectively increased, and the planting effect of the camphor trees cultured through the cultivation method is effectively improved. The cultivation method for camphor trees is particularly suitable for camphor trees cultured in an out-of-season mode, reasonable, easy to operate and suitable for large-scale planting.
