![]() I see some splitting there, and I'm thinking that heavy rain just before a bunch ripens causes this. My last bunch of Hawaiian Apples started splitting even before cutting the bunch, but I have found that if you separate the hands it will slow down the splitting.

![]() Yeah, it seems like in the summer when there is no rain my fruits never split. Cutting the bunch before they ripen on the plant might help some too.
