is this ash tree, always self seeding in my garden

It's growing fast as well, I always get rid of it.

Whatever it is, there’s hundreds  of the beggars in my garden as well. Always pulling them out before they get too deep rooted.

Doesn't look the same as the ash in my hedge.  Google Lens will give you the answer.

sure, it can root so deep, very agressive plant

Google lens is identifying it as common ash.

It's not ground elder is it? looks similar

elsien

No, if it’s the same stuff as in my garden, it grows differently to ground elder.

It is Ash, and I don't need Google to ID it. Ash is becoming a less common species, as dieback disease is killing most of them. I once counted a square metre of ash seedlings germinated in my Dad's garden one spring. It was 53!

Pot them up, if they thrive you might have found a disease resistant strain.

Some are taking much longer to show distress. We have all stages here, from still healthy to stone dead! Even after 10 years or so, I still can't be sure if any will survive.

When the people who work on these things find a resistant strain, I expect they'll go down the tissue culture route.

Had a sapling that managed to get to about six foot before showing any signs of distress, rallied about three times before giving up the ghost.
Shame as I like young Ash trees, the dappled shade is nice.
