Answer
Generally pomergranates tend to crack open when they are over ripe.
Splitting and cracking are physiological disorders that occur to fruit on the tree. The rind shows various degrees of cracking, which often serves as entry points for decay organisms (Salunkhe and Desai, 1984). Splitting and cracking can be prevented using regular irrigation; the last irrigation must be done 15 to 20 days before harvest.
Pomegranates are ripe when they have a certain color and they make a metallic sound when they are tapped. This fruit must be picked before they over mature (when they start cracking open). This is especially true when they are rained on.
