I read that some put support under the fruit stalk to support the weight.

I got some Dwarf Orinico, Namwah(Icecream?) in June/July should I plan to build some support for them?

The D O has just a few hands maybe 20 fruits in total. While the Namwah all have maybe 6-10 hands each but in my view pretty small fruit.

If and when should I give some support for them and how? Do I just get a piece of lumber and something soft on top for the support of the stalk?

My first time with fruit...!
