You could protect the fruit from being knocked off by people/animals by keeping them away from the tree. If you're expecting rain or hail either move the tree or rig a shelter.

But if the plant is going to drop a fruit, it's gonna do it

Thanks steiconi. the tree is safe in my balcony. I am more concerned about fruit dropping off from other factors such as overwatering or overfertilizing. my question is do i have to water the tree at this stage?
