There is no universal fruit-tree watering schedule. A five-gallon newly planted tree and a mature avocado cannot be managed with the same runtime.
Think in water volume and root depth
Tree canopy size, soil texture, slope, weather, emitter flow and wetted area all affect irrigation needs.
Common mistake
Increasing minutes without knowing emitter output does not tell you how much water the tree receives.
