Is taking a branch from a tree on mosque property without permission considered a mistake, and what are the consequences of that, knowing that the branch grew and became a large tree?

There is no blame upon you for what you did, nor are you required to return the tree to the mosque or offer expiation, because the trunk was almost cut off, and the tree is closer to public property from which one may benefit as long as it causes no harm.
