It’s hard to say. In the hands of a skilled swordsman, a katana can cut metal. I’d say it would depend on the swordsman, the type of tree, and the size of the tree.
If it were possible it’s not going to be the sword but the swordsman. Technique and skill means everything. Musashi fought and killed a once famous samurai noble with an oar… what does that tell you?
Of course! A katana can cut a locomotive in half with one swipe!
No, not really.
Here is a story about cutting a 4×4 in half with a sword. A two-handed sword like a katana might take a little less time, but this give you a good idea what it would take.
It most likely could cut a sapling in half.
no
not even a chain saw could cut in in one slice..so no a sword cant do that not any sword a small tree would
After a few hundred hard hits in the same area, it should cut the tree
a katana is not designed to cut a tree down it is designed to cut in to the human body,
so no it wont, more then likely you will ruin the blade
Only if wielded by somebody strong enough like Chuck Norris.

Katana blades are designed to cut people, not wood.
A sapling

Not in one cut.
