Fraxinus excelsior , the third most abundant tree in Britain (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ash

(Other definitions for ash that I've seen before include "Tree; burnt residue" , "Burnt material; tree" , "Fire's remains" , "Volcanic dust" , "at village near Whitchurch in Shropshire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
