To make it easier, go to the branch line and start
digging around the tree. If the tree does up uproot
immediately which it only does on really small trees,
cut the exposed roots behind the tree, back up, and
give it a jerk.

A slow pull, cut some expsosed root behind the tree,
and give it a jerk has always worked for me.

Before you do it, make sure you have a place to dump
the tree and make sure you have dirt to fill the hole.

As mentioned, axe.

I reciprocationg saw with a junk blade is ideal. Dig below grade around
root. Cut.
