Yes, yours are from July 2018.
Mine are from September 2018, almost the same sowing time.
I will take pictures tomorrow, but...
(ATTENTION: Possible spoiler!)
It seems yours are thicker than mine.
Let's see when I compare with the pix I'll produce.

Looks are deceiving. When looked at from up close, things may look bigger than they really are. A ruler is needed.

Hm.. You realize this is a ruler in CM and not Inches!?

Do you realise that you both forgot to mention what type of plant this is?! I'm curious!

Raintree: pithecellobium tortum

Old name is Pithecellobium Tortum.
That's why its popular name here in Brazil is "Piteco", a shortcut.
Some years ago there was a revision and now it is officially called Chloroleucon Tortum.
Outside Brazil it is popularly called BRT, a shortcut for Brazilian Rain Tree.

Are there any rulers in inches anywhere else outside the USA?
Well yes, I know our metrics...

@leatherback here is your answer.
This is the most promising of my seedlings. It is two months younger than yours, it was up potted twice, pruned and wired.
Roots are again escaping by the drainage holes (you can see some at the soils surface).
As I had imagined, almost the same thickness of the trunks, yours and mine.
Compare for yourself.

Oh wow. Would not have expected that. SOoo maybe.. Growing in a pot is the most limiting factor here, not the environment?

Most probably, I guess.
I imagine that if they were in the ground they would be perhaps double the size.
Bad news for you is that I can do it here, but you can't due to the winter temperatures in Germany.
BUT!...
It's winter here.
Lets wait till the end of our summer here and compare again, I am sure we will see some differences.

Peat+Perlite, pine bark (small), turface, DE and Akadama.
I guess some crushed brick (4 to 6mm) as it is in all my mixes for tropicals.

In fact what I most like in this BRT of yours is the trunk.
And... I like it all, but the form of the trunk, the way it is in perfect harmony with the foliage, the bumps...
I just love it.

Clicio,
not a Brt, but an ironwood from Brazil.
