Fluctuations in the weather, temperature and watering cause fruit split in citrus fruits, like lemons. A period of high humidity followed by a dry period can trigger the splitting effect. Usually only a few fruit on any given tree are affected. Keep the soil evenly and consistently moist, not soggy, to alleviate the problem as much as possible.
