Thank you for your question.
According to this Oregon State Extension article "Fruit Tree Site Considerations" - fruit trees in Western Oregon should be watered from mid-June to late September. This should be a deep soak, penetrating several feet into the soil. Sandy soil will require more frequent watering than clay soil, but less water with each soaking. Clay soil will require more water with each soaking, but not as frequent as sandy soil. In general fruit trees like a deep soak (2–3 inches of water) every 10–14 days on sandy soil and every 15–20 days on clay soil.
