Old cartoon about a magic sword and/or a magic tree?

Hey all, I’ve been trying and failing to find anything on this.

All I remember is a guy with a sword, I think a samurai sword, and a big tree in his rather Japanese styled back garden. It’s all a little fuzzy but It would have been available in the UK late 90s or 2000s. I think there’s some premise where the sword or tree or both are magical. Maybe something soul related. And no it’s definitely not samurai jack.

Honestly I’m going crazy thinking I’ve made it all up and would appreciate any help.

Thanks!
