Certified ExpertA.Oh no! This sounds like Black Heart Rot! This is terrible news.
There is no treatment, or cure. In fact, not much is known about the disease, other than it is an Alternaria fungus.
Simply, removing old fruit should help out for next year, but you will expect to see more infected next year. Using a fungicide may help some, but you won't rid yourself completely of the disease.

Certified ExpertA.It is a little late in the year to be transplanting. Spring will be the appropriate time in your area. You may consider keeping it in container until then.

LeicestershireQ.I Have Four Pomegranates Grown From Seed I Am Trying To Place Them Outside But They Keep Burning I Thought They Enjoyed Hot Climates.
What is the best course of action to take ? They are all 3 years old and everytime I put them outside the leaves curl and they start going brown in patches when I bring them back inside they go back to green again after a rest period. The plants are growing with lots of new sprouts; as you can imagine I don't want to kill them by trying to get them outside

Amman, JordanQ.Why Do Pomegranate Fruit Split Open Just Before They Start Ripening
I don’t presently have any images to send . The pomegranate season is still about four months away. I’d like to know if there is anything I can do ahead of the fruiting season.

Certified ExpertA.This will usually happen when the tree receives uneven moisture throughout the fruiting season. If it dries out, then suddenly receives watering, this will be the result.
Try keeping the tree evenly moist with only a slight dry out, between watering during the fruiting season.
Sometimes, pathogens can do this, too. The treatment will depend on the culprit.
