Hi,
If the tree is big enough, taking 3 cuttings won't hurt. Of course, don't go advertise everywhere so that other 300 people won't go take 3 cuttings ...
In front of a church or near a fence as long as the branches are after the fence and in the public field/street ...
In the park, the park being public, 3 cuttings when no one is locking at you, send a smog bomb to the ground, in you vanish like a true ninja ...
Only limit, I wouldn't go neither advertise, nor sell those cuttings. I'll use them for me, and if needed be, propagate mine and sell from mine.
Just my way of thinking ... Don't get caught in the act ... By the way ... For that could be embarrassing . LOL .
