Best to transplant the seedlings into pots when they are about 3" tall. Osage puts out one heck of a tap root that you may break off if you let them get to big. The ones I transplanted small had the tap root growing out of the bottom of a gallon pot and taking root in the soil below the pot in 8 to 10 months if I remember correctly.

maybe choosing a south facing slope protected from cold north wind would increase the life expectancy

I have been thinking of one place on my property which has a south slope. Some trees still left there, we fell almost all of them from that spot. Maybe they will provide some protection too.
Also the soil is rich there.
