I'd like to grow a holly bush/tree. One of the Christmasy ones like Ilex
Opaca. Can anyone recommend the best way to do this? Where can I get one?

Where are you?

A guy in our street has one in his garden. Could I take a cutting from it?

Yes: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/hil/hil-8702.html

What would be the best time to do this and what are the pitfalls?

See above :~))

Thanks in advance for any help
