Most have no clue. Here’s why your tomatoes are splitting & what you can do

Tomato splitting occurs when the skin of the tomato cracks open, usually in a circular pattern around the stem or vertically along the sides. This phenomenon is primarily due to fluctuations in water uptake, which causes the inner fruit to expand faster than the skin can stretch. As a result, the skin splits to accommodate the sudden growth. While split tomatoes are still edible, they are more susceptible to pests and rot.
