Remains after burning tree (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ash

This clue is a double definition.

'remains after burning' is the first definition.
(remains of a fire)

'tree' is the second definition.
(ash is a kind of tree)

(Other definitions for ash that I've seen before include "What's often left after something 1 Ac" , "Knotty - - (Ken Dodd)" , "Rowan tree is also called the mountain . . ." , "Remnant from fire" , "What's left of the fire" .)
