What am I looking at?

Hiking near the TN/NC border between GSMNP and Pisgah, there are stands of these coniferous everywhere. I’m trying to get my tree knowledge up, so:

What am I looking at and any fun facts about it?

Help with ID

I’m trying to figure out what this tree is, my id app says Siberian elm but I wanted to peer review that. Northern Colorado along the poudre river. Hoping it’s elm because I’m looking for bow wood but this area is primarily cottonwood. More photos in comments

Help Estimating Size of Root Ball

I’ve been asked to remove and dispose of a 24” DBH black walnut tree in its entirety, including root wad and I need help estimating how much material I may need to backfill the hole. Also there is an underground gas main in the area so I need a little information on max width and depth of the root wad to know if I can safely split/dig out the stump.

In search of Osage

Hello all! I’m new to the group and I have perhaps a bit of an unorthodox question? I’m getting into primitive bow building and one of the best woods I could hope to find is Osage Orange. I live in northern Colorado, and was wondering if any tree experts might have some insight on the closest area I might find some growing? Thinking maybe eastern Colorado or Nebraska but I’m not sure. Also if I were to find some I would only harvest legally and only if I found a particularly straight length! Thanks tree peeps
