The invention relates to a big seedling transplanting method for an inshore saline-alkali land. The method is characterized in that: the optimal time for transplanting big trees in inshore regions is spring. The method comprises the following steps of: selecting a region with soil salt content of over 0.3 percent, and paving a filter layer; installing blind pipes; backfilling original soil doped with 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 cow dung or straws; irrigating with great water to remove salt and reduce alkali, wherein the water quantity is 120 cubes per mu; cutting and trimming roots in a mode of 'cutting the main root and keeping capillary roots' in one year earlier; lifting and transporting; planting in a depth which is 10 to 15 centimeters higher than the original trunk planting earth surface line position; and performing daily management.

The invention provides a pear tree two-arm direct-motion type shed frame tree shape which comprises a tree trunk. The tree trunk has two boughs which grow in a direct-motion mode, and base angles of the two boughs are 45 degrees. When reaching a frame-climbing point, the boughs are fixed on a horizontal shed frame in a direct-motion mode, and extended long branches of the boughs are guided onto an elevation guide line in a perpendicular mode. The boughs have long placed fruit branches which are arranged in parallel and vertically extend into intervals. Before the two boughs climb a frame, two horizontal robust side position branches which are pulled along the reverse direction to be parallel to the boughs after the horizontal robust side position branches grow upward to the frame face. The side position branches have F-shaped single-shaft long placed type fruit branches which are arranged in parallel and vertically extend to the intervals. The tree shape only has the two boughs, and therefore the problems that an inclined crown appears easily in a three-bough tree shape and the main boughs intersect are solved. The two boughs oppositely extend in a direct-motion mode and do not influence each other. The two-bough tree shape is easy to reshape, and the two boughs are easy to form after the trunk is fixed. The phenomenon of lack of branches appears in a three-bough shed frame due to the fact that sprout force of a pear tree is weak. The three shape has the advantages that cultivation density is high, early-stage output is high, light conditions are good, the branches are easy to arrange in an ordered mode, uniformity of fruit quality is high, and standardization is easy to achieve.
