Default [IBC] pinus contorta

I was at my local nurserey yesterday, and I found 1 Coast Pine(pinus
contorta) behind some other trees. It looks healthy, and I am thinking about
purchasing it. The reason I want to train it is because I go backpacking
through the Sierras quite a bit, and I always see the bristlecone pine,
which is one of the most amazing trees to see in nature. Is it true that the
coast pine, and bristlecone pine are nearly identical? Also, would a coast
pine make a good speciman? Thanks for any comments or advice. - Colin Horn
