This really had me worried a week ago. As the fruit got bigger so did the split. After losing a fruit to uncontrollable splitting a few weeks ago I was afraid the same would happen with this fruit, but luckily I was able to get this one under control by hitting it lightly with a bleach solution, letting it sit for a minute, then drying it out with a paper towel and lightly applying a chlorothalonil fungicide straight from the bottle and keeping a fan on it until it dried. The yellow stuff is sulphur paste applied to plug the hollow inside of the vine that had been exposed after I cut the vine past the fruit. The blue lines are where the vine walls used to be connected.
