Mulch your fruit trees to keep pests away. Organic mulch such as compost or dried leaves and straw can prevent soil drying. After mulching, make sure to remove the mulch from around the stems of the trees. If you need to cut the branches in order to keep the soil dry and prevent them from growing too high, do so at a lower angle. This will reduce the chance of bark rot. Protect your plants from animals and soil drying out by covering them in hardware cloth, netting, or other netting.

You can also harvest your labor during this time.
