It really depends on the type of citrus tree your are planting but first and foremost I would suggest fixing the clay soil to better your chances of success. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/how-to-improve-clay-soil.htm ^[1]

Newly planted trees do require lots of water while they establish their root systems. These articles will help with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/watering-newly-planted-tree.htm ^[2]

If you would like to give them a dose of ferilizer to help them along, here is more info: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/citrus/fertilizing-citrus-trees-best-practices-for-citrus-fertilizing.htm ^[4]
