pinkturtle, if your fruit splits even when you control your watering (not overwater) it could be just due to the tree fruiting for the first time. I had some pomelo fruits split like that the first time on my trees. Eventually on following years the fruits grew to full ripeness and I didn't change any of my watering. I usually only water once a week, unless I see some of my potted plants with dry soil.
