frêne / sorbier

Explanation:
There are many different species of ash. So, the exact name would obviously depend on the species in question. However, if you were referring to mountain ash, that is a different family altogether. Mountain ash would be: Sorbier des oiseaux, Sorbier des oisleurs, Poirier des oiseaux, Sorbier sauvage, Arbre a grives.

Ash (Fraxinus)

Fraxinus pennsylvanica velutina
Image source: [1]

A tree or shrub, of the genus Fraxinus, belonging to the Oleaceae family. Found principally in northern temperate zones. Ash trees usually display small clusters of greenish flowers and wind-disperse their characteristic long-winged fruit. The white ash (F. americana) is used as a source of durable hardwood timber while the blue ash (F. quadrangulata) provides a blue dye, hence the name. The mountain ash and prickly ash are not members of this genus. [2]
