In order to produce top quality holly, all the trees at Amblecote are fertilized, sprayed, irrigated, and carefully cared for throughout the year. Harvesting begins in early November and continues until mid-December. Pickers are employed to cut holly sprays and prune the trees. Additional workers sort and pack the holly for florists, supermarkets, and gift boxes. Shipments are sent by truck and plane across Canada and the United States.

Holly has been a part of the western world's Christmas scene for so long that many of us tend to take it for granted. Holly trees flourish in the mild west coast marine climate of the Duncan area on southern Vancouver Island. We are pleased to be able to offer our products so that everyone can share in the joys and traditions of holly for Christmas. Each year letters come to Amblecote from faraway places telling how holly said Merry Christmas in a very special and friendly way.
