The invention relates to a method for transplanting ancient ginkgoes and belongs to the technical field of plant transplanting technologies. The method for transplanting ancient ginkgoes includes the steps of firstly, preparing before transplanting; secondly, performing balance snagging to branches of ancient ginkgoes; thirdly, performing root pruning and ball shrinking; fourthly, packing and transporting root balls; and fifthly, maintaining and managing after transplanting. Root pruning and ball shrinking are performed in the method, so that growth of new mass absorbing roots is promoted. Emergence of new mass branches and leaves is promoted by balance snagging. By soil ball bundling, lifting by cranes, transporting by plate trailers, unloading and transplanting, no cracking of tree trunks occurs, and the soil balls are firm without looseness. By late maintenance and management, the transplanted ancient ginkgoes grow well in leafy profusion and have green leaves in growth seasons, and survival and healthy thriving are achieved.
