the fruit trees haven’t finished growing yet but what i’ve done is i’ve placed 4 pieces of the hedge fencing at the front, put the plain wooden-shop sign with an orchard design on the right, put a table with a fruit basket on the left and have a fruit-themed stall with the infused-water dispenser and coconut juice next to some of the soon-to-be apple trees ;;
I never been like a huge fan of setting space for orchards. It's always been my least favorite thing to deal with the different fruits. I shoved them all up on my top cliffs that surround this tikibar area I created. I felt like it'd make the most sense like that's where all the fruity drinks come from.
This is an old image of my map but that whole area in the red rectangle is where most my fruit sit. Down below is speckled with pear and apple trees. But that might change.
I know this image doesn't help but I purposely shoved them back so you can't even see them.
i set mine up adjacent to resident services because it just seemed to fit there. i did a row for each fruit, with 5 trees each and a dirt path between rows. i used hedge fencing to "separate" the area and also put a little fruit market area with stalls, fruit cardboard boxes, and fruit baskets to decorate it further! if i remember to take a screenshot of it, i'll edit my comment with a picture so you can see an in-game screenshot!
I've got two south river exits, and decided to have foreign fruit orchards running along the outer side of each. The first two and last two trees have corral fencing along the outside of them, and then I placed one beekeepers hive at the front. The orchards are more practical than decorative, but I never pick the fruit, so there's that, I guess.
I also cut down every pear (native) tree but one, which is planted just outside my home as a commemoration.
I was going to just do the usual - fence off the trees, have 3 of each tree lined up, but I saw someone did their orchard by crafting the respective fruit furniture and positioning them around 1 or 2 trees of respective fruit! it was really cute! may require a lot more room but is a fun twist on orchards
I didn't have space for an orchard so I made a fruit forest with roughly 10 of each type of fruit tree (which is way too much so I'm cutting it down to 5 or 6 of each soon)
I just moved all my fruit around. All my peach trees (native) are all the way on the left side of my island, most of them running up along either side of a dirt path with a fence on one side. (I call it Peachtree Lane.) My apple trees are on a little island by themselves I think of as Avalon (which was also known as the Isle of Apples). Pears, cherries, and oranges are in groups on a narrow stretch of land just north of the river and the residential/shopping area/plaza/museum. I used to have all my fruit trees all over, mixed in with hardwood trees. This way I know which trees to shake daily and I can track the fruit better as I harvest it. The fruit areas are low-key farm-themed. They have beehives and rustic fences and similar sorts of things scattered throughout them. No fancy signs though.
I have a large space devoted to an orchard because the southwest section of my island is kinda like a countryside. I didn't really do a lot of decoration for it, nor did I label what fruit trees are where - I figure I'm the only one who really uses the trees so I don't need to put up signage and it takes up space anyway where I have crammed 40 trees into a tight space. I do use country fence surrounding the area at the north and south end of it - the pathway through the middle of it leads up to Marina's house, who's assumed to tend to the orchard. Also put down some clover paths I found from someone on here to make the dirt path less boring.

Oh, and my native pears aren't in the orchard, I just use them in my central entrance/RS area in great abundance. Mostly as decoration like the coconut trees, but they are there if I need some major landscaping energy.
