Silvery grey tree (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ash

I believe this is a double definition.

'silvery grey' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

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

(Other definitions for ash that I've seen before include "Rowan tree is also called the mountain . . ." , "Tree with winged seeds" , "blonde" , "Tree - effect of burning" , "Remains of conflagration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
