You can get green wood blades for reciprocating saws - toolstation do
some silverline ones that are adequate and very cheap. A basic receip
saw with pendulum action will cut faster than one without.

You might also want to look at one of the scissor action pruning
chainsaws - very quick and quite safe compared to a traditional one.
