Default care advice for bhutan pine / pinus wallichiana

hi,
i just bought a 2 foot bhutan pine, and i am hoping someone can give
some very basic advice on watering or other care needs. i'm a real
novice with gardening and would just like to provide the best
conditions i can to allow the tree to grow healthy. there seems to be
very little information on this tree on the Internet.
it is still in the pot in came in at the shop, and i have a place for
it in a raised bed, which gets morning and mid-day sun and will drain
well, it is a windy section of the garden aswell. the garden is quite
small so i will want to keep the tree quite small, less than 4 or 5
feet anyway. when is a good time to prune it? any tips to help it
settle in to its new place, is compost or manure a good idea?

thanks in advance
