The invention discloses an arbor transplanting method reducing a crown recovery period. The method comprises: transplanting arbors and culturing arbors in autumn or spring, including cutting roots, digging out, transporting, transplanting, and maintaining, trimming seedling crown diameter after cutting roots; after digging-out, wrapping the seedlings at once, and transporting the seedlings at once after wrapping, in a transportation process, using a black shading net to shade and keep out the wind, moisturizing for 1-2 times in the transportation process; in a maintenance process, through watering and moisturizing the branches and crown of the seedlings, keeping humidity below the crown of the seedling to be higher than 90, and keeping planting soil water content to be 45-50%. In the method, the crown diameters of the seedlings are trimmed after roots are cut, the diameter at breast height is 15-20 cm, 20-30% of five-level branches are kept, and the diameter at breast height is 20-30 cm, 65-75% of four-level branches are kept. The method effectively shortens crown recovery periods, and can completely recover crown shapes.
