Q. My pomegranate fruit is splitting (early October), should I pick them now or wait until November?
A. As far as your pomegranate goes, anytime they begin to split and as close to their harvest time it is a good idea to get them of the tree. A number of birds, insects and diseases will take advantage of the pomegranate fruit once it is split. Depending on the variety, harvesting can occur from September through November.

| This pomegranate has great color and is splitting. Time to get it off the tree before it splits more and birds and bugs get into it. |

The other main cause of splitting pomegranate fruit is the same as with many other fruits: irregular watering. Is Pomegranate Healthy
