    If they were in pots you might get away with it, but if they were bare rooted you will need a lot of luck! Keep watering them.

    What do you mean by mature? Were they in pots? How healthy did they look when you put them in - were the leaves limp? Did you stake them? I cannot guarantee whether they will grow or not, they might, but its not a good time to transplant full size trees. Look on it as a gamble, you've already planted them so all you can do is hope for the best :D

    That height would not be mature, you might get away with it.
