Hi christina,
I inherited an ash tree when i took on my new allotment. I had to dig over the garden initially to clear buried rubbish and found the roots from the tree travelled many feet in search of moisture. I would cut it down and dug out the largest roots. Ash makes great fire wood even unseasoned so wont go to waste if you or a friend has a burner! Why not plant a fruit tree in its place. Robin
