Welcome to the forum @free trees
That looks like a Rhus - or Staghorn Sumac to me, and it spreads all over the place on runners. Many people see it as a weed and a nuisance although it shows amazing colour in the autumn - it will soon take over in a garden.
You will not be able to take cuttings of this, although you could maybe get away with digging up one of the suckers (when nobody`s looking) Mostly I have grown trees from seed. Silver birch is a good one and grows really quickly - I got 106 trees out of one catkin !!

thanks ..ur spot on..i just checked utube....for sumac..and it all makes sense.
exactly how you described it...ill let this one stay where it is...its very invasive.

i appreciate the feedback...ill try another park tomorow to see if i can find something more suitable for my needs.
