Hi, a friend recently gave me a small bristlecone pine tree. I'm wondering
how it would do as a houseplant?

Give it plenty of sunshine, a little water, and a little food and, it
will be a good companion for, perhaps, the next five thousand years. I
hope you have a long and meaningful relationship:)
