The trees need an inch of water per week and more when temps are in the upper 90’s. Apple trees typically bear fruit when they are about 8 years old. The tree wrap should come off in the summer because it can foster fungal diseases by keeping the trunk too moist. The honey crisp may be growing faster because it has more mulch around it and more shade for the roots because of the perennials. Maybe they get more water too.

People cover their trees with row cover material or landscape cloth that lets in air and water but that is difficult, obviously. Other control options are described in the reference link.
