I bough a pull saw from Lowe's. It has a blade about 15" long and is really easy to use.

The wood is very soft and the pull saw cuts it quickly and cleanly. (I bought the medium to rough cut, not the finish cut)

The saw I bought is the following although I did not use this site

By chance today I rescued several cypress knees from a pond cleaning job at a friend's house. He had a Sears reciprocal saw that went through the knees like butter. Item# 00917175000 | Model# 17175

Of course, you will need power to use this model. Might not be such a good choice out in the swamps.

I'm sure most of the box stores sell something similar.

I agree the chain saw would chew the wood.

Most people I know use a chain saw but a battery powered reciprocal saw should be just as good.

I use this saw 2491-22 M12 Red Lithium Impact Drill / Hackzall Reciprocating Saw Combo-2491-22 at The Home Depot, with a long blade, cuts fast and smooth. Watch for snakes, no joke
