Oh yes, will you irrigate them this summer (I ask half tongue in
cheek, half seriously)?

If the rain continues, I'll be digging trenches....
Yes, if we don't get rain for a week, or get a lot of rain, I will be wetting them down. Yesterday I developed a system of sorts, using 5 gallon buckets and my 8 cu ft wheelbarrow. I fill up the bucket and the barrow and carry the water down to the front. I then bucket the water from the barrow to the trees. A 5 gallon bucket does about 3 trees, and it takes two wheelbarrow trips to do all the trees.
