Need help with watering requirements for new fruit trees

Just installed a drip irrigation system for my new 1 and 2 year apples, peaches and plums I planted in February. I am a newbie fruit grower and need help with how to water please.

Assuming no rain, how many gallons do my new trees need per week this spring and summer? What should my watering schedule be - once a week or more often? As the trees get larger, how do I determine how much more water they need?

Already near drought conditions here in north Georgia - clay soil is "as dry as a popcorn fart" as my wife likes to say, so any help would be appreciated, thanks.
