Tree on mountain, for example, remains (3)

I believe the answer is:

ash

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'tree on mountain' is the first definition.
'ash' can be an answer for 'tree' (ash is a kind of tree). I am not certain of the 'on mountain' bit.

'remains' is the second definition.
(remains of a fire)

'for example' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ash that I've seen before include "End of fire" , "Knotty - - (Ken Dodd)" , "Silvery grey" , "One [TYPE OF TREE]" , "Result of burning - deciduous tree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
