    Blossom drop can happen for a few reasons. The most common is too little water. Another reason could be poor pollination and then poor fertilization of the soil could also cause problems with the flowers.

    Oftentimes this is caused by uneven watering. This can happen when you have long periods of dry conditions followed by a big rainfall, or an abundance of water. The plant is so thirsty that it sucks up water faster than it can grow and the fruit splits. To avoid this, make sure to water evenly and often.

    I have not heard of this happening. My initial reaction would be that it was weather changes or a change in radiation from the sun, but that would not explain why your mother's tree is like that. Did you get your seeds from her? It could be a genetic problem. Good Luck and Happy Growing!

    Cheers,
    Joe

    Sorry, but I can't find an answer to your question. UC Davis has a pomegranate program. They may be able to give you the answer. Good luck.
