John,
I planted my big ones the fallowing spring. They were not even a year old yet. You will find weak ones and tough ones. To help out the weak ones I cover them the first year for insurance.
Last year I left a row of seedlings outside for the winter most did not make it, but 3 of them had no burn at all, it is so interesting to me how different each individual can be. :)

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I found my Joshuas quite different as well. They all germinated together but now at almost 3 months they vary between 3 leaves at up to 3" and 1 leaf at about 1/2".

Aaron do they pic up speed as they get older. They are so rare to buy here that the only option is to grow from seed.
