Most likely causes
From the pests and diseases recorded for this plant, the ones whose symptoms match, most serious first. Symptoms alone rarely confirm a cause, so use the linked page to check the signs and treatment.
Fruit Cracking
Radial or concentric cracks open around the shoulder and calyx of the fruit. Rot organisms enter through the cracks and the fruit spoils quickly.

Yellowing appears between the veins of the lower leaves while the veins stay green, giving a net-like pattern. It later browns and dies back, and is most obvious on plants carrying a heavy fruit load.

What other growers did about it
A page like this one can tell you what grape fruit cracking, rot and deformities is and what to try. What it cannot tell you is what actually happened to someone who had it on the same plant, at the same point in the season, and what they did next.
Gadenin is a free garden journal built around that. You photograph the plant, tag what you are seeing, and the entries line up by date for each plant you grow.
- Tag the problem and the app tells you how many other growers have logged the same thing on the same plant.
- Growers who make their records public can be followed, so you can read what they did and how it turned out.
- Next season your own entries come back at the same point in the year, so you check the plant before it starts.
Free on iPhone. Recording, tagging and reading public records cost nothing.
