If the plant is mature enough, you can take a cutting from anywhere. Generally, the rapidly growing tips of the plant that tend to be thicker and the tallest part of the plant don't clone as well as lower branches.

^^ yes and yes and yes yes... the lower branches contain more root hormones

There is always the ability to add your own hormones. Picking up a bottle of rooting hormone will help induce rooting on almost any cutting. I was able to clone lemon basil with this when applied persistently, in a very cool room, on a very small cutting. Basil does not do well in cooler conditions, adding the hormone and keeping the clone water clean offers great help. You can even add a small dose of water soluble nutes, but very small, like one drop, don't burn them.
