For my permanent trees I create a map of the exact location of each tree and then print it out to have a copy of where everything is located.  I have my files backed up with copies off site in case I would need that too.
 
I was going to suggest this method to the group but Lucky beat me to it.

While you're making that 'permanent' label, make a second one, and
rather than attaching it to the tree, bury it in the mulch/soil at
the base of the tree - that way, when the deer eat or mangle the
original, a windstorm blows it away, or the neighborhood wags steal
'em - or switch them around, you've still got a 'backup' way of
recalling the ID.  Choose a consistent spot - like the North or South
side of the tree to bury the backup label.

An orchard map - with multiple copies maintained in separate
locations - is a good idea, too.
