Does it survive forest fire?

Aspen ?

Evergreen?

Ash?

Evergreen to many letters Andy, it's 8 or less, thanks anyway!

Sorry didn't realise.

I think Cerasus 's answer is probably correct, as aspen trees
are able to survive forest fires, because the roots are below the heat of the fire, with new sprouts growing after the fire burns out.

So not really a cryptic clue then.

I somehow missed it was a cryptic clue.
I found exactly what Elle said (wikipedia )
but it may be something more cryptic

foster ? (fire/encourage )
anagram of 'forest'
