why do my meyer lemons split before finished ripening?

Question

in ground for about two years; planted from container after having been a volunteer at a friend’s house. Multiple flowers, many lemons but most have split before removal. Still good but just curious … too much water, not enough?

Answer 1

This can be a complicated issue with many factors, but yes... Overwatering is one of those factors.
