    Here is a recipe I like to use. It is safe for all plants, at any time. This has helped me cure Fungal, bacterial, and insect problems. You don't have to use every ingredient, but it is really powerful when you do.

    First, you will want to prime the ground with dolomitic lime, then spread wettable sulfur to Kill off any infection in the soil. I Also like to spray the plant itself. Mix a few drops of one or more of these ingredients into warm water with a spoonful of coconut oil: Rosemary oil, lavender oil, neem oil, garlic oil, cinnamon extract/oil and for really bad cases, also add clove oil.

    Aspergillus, Alternaria, and Botrytis are possibilities for what might be attacking your pomegranates. Botrytis infection of the fruit might explain the fruits you see which are rotted inside. This article and the attached article contain information on pomegranate Botrytis disease:

    For control of all these diseases, the best option is to contact someone at a local university that has an agriculture program who may be better able to help. The reason is that the chemicals and other control options available are different in each country.

    If your tree is from a seed itself, then the fruit may not be what you would expect it to be. Most fruit is produced from a grafted tree. The temperatures you describe are a little warm, even for this tropical species. If the humidity is low, this can cause issues as well. Here is an article on the care of the tree:

    Thank you Bush Doctor. These are common trees here, this was a grafted Wonderful, and has produced good fruit for a number of years. We can't figure out what has changed,
