Last picture for now! This is Pinus strobus 'Niagara Falls,' which was also an American Conifer Society 2009 purchase. I potted and overwintered 'Niagara Falls' in our unheated back porch and it seemed to do just fine. The needles are very soft and the branches droop beautifully, but I would worry about planting this outside in my zone as it doesn't look strong enough to handle the snow loads that we get. For as long as I can, I will keep it potted. 'Niagara Falls' put on about three inches of growth last year so I think I can keep it potted for a number of years. I will need to trim the roots and repot it with new soil in the fall.
