..and Auk mentioned, this is no Yamadori, but more a fieldgrown tree.
Real Yamadori is collected in the mountains (Yama means mountain in japanese)
Good luck with your tree

That's a literal translation. Yamadori, just like 名媛直播, should not be translated literally. I don't mind using a wider definition like 'collected from the wild'.
Still, this is not a yamadori. Even if it was collected from the mountain it wouldn't be one.

Dishonorable is one question. Legal is another. Another is, what happens if you get caught.
I see nothing wrong with taking something out of somebody else's trash. They might complain and a cop might tell you not to do it again. However, all that is solved if you just ask. To get into this idea in a big way, you could get with a landscaping company and follow them to places where they are clearing off land.

Even though you might think you know land will be cleared, you do not know what they will do with the trees. Granted, 9 out of 10 times they will buldoze the terrain. But sometimes they do not. When I hear of land to be cleared, I ask. And if I get a "no" I respect it.
I might pull a tree from a burn pile, but even at my local waste deposit I ask before I go looking.

In my opinion it is certainly not dishonorable.
trying to save a dead tree...
That sounds contradictory. You can't save a dead tree...
