Any idea on what this is - type of standard tree

Hi,

Does anyone have any idea on what this standard is, my wife was given it a last year but not really sure what it is and I would like to take some cuttings if possible.

It had red berries in the winter which the Blackbirds made short work of.

sorry, first time I have posted in quite some time, I just copied the photos from my email and pasted in the post, is that not correct. I can see them.

Maybe a standard holly..Ilex.
Need to see pics when flowers are open.

I think it is Ilex aquifolium Van Tol..a female holly that has berries.
Flowers should look like this...
