Is it grafted on to A.reticulata? I am wondering what rootstock have the lowest rate of delayed incompatability. They do marcot and I am thinking this might be preferred for propagation.
I have a red genova grafted on pond apple and I wish mine looked as good as yours.It does have the same issue with the boot but mine has more of a crack. Mine is growing goodalso this year. Why didn't you put it in the ground?
Do you have a picture of the fruit after picking, showing the crack?
The ripe ones Ive had were seriously split on the tree
The slight splitting at the stem may have been the start of a late abortion.When the tree is well-established in the ground and well fertilized, with a late-starting rainy season, the fruit will be superb.Variety may be Pajapita.
I am not a fan of pond apple as a rootstock on anything.
Cherimoya rootstock works great with Ilama. I can manage at 12’ by pruning 2x a year. Here is my Genova red next to my Rollinia 5’ apart

Some show early, some for not after a couple years.
