There is no one reason why the splitting occurs. It can be a
combination of things. According to the article below, it is likely
tree stress due to fluctuations in any of these - temp, humidity, soil
moisture and possibly fertilizer.

I have a tree loaded with kumquats right now....the tree is sitting in
my kitchen, over wintering in a southern exposure. There is jam in my
future.

Thanks to David and Boron for this. I will be much more vigilant next year (uh, THIS year!) to keep deep watering on even schedule.
Could not access the link directly, as my system will not convert pdf to other.
I am recovering from a major HD crash which lost everything for the last 20 years. (Lesson: Do not postpone backing up!)so cannot find whatever I had that dealt with problem.
Any thoughts? Running Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron Home Premium.
No, I do not want to d/l Windows 10. Ran it on borrowed desktop while mine was in the shop, and hated it.
TIA

This is why folks stash everything up in the cloud nowadays - I am
still backward enough to keep physical back-ups, though.
HDs can go belly up at any point - so can back up drives. They can be
replaced, but recovery of data, if possible, is always pricey.
You can stick with Win7, as MS will support it through 2020. I have
made the transition to Win10 with all but one of my laptops and my
office computer, which is out of my hands, but means I use both
systems all the time. I have deiced that I like Win10 a lot. Keep in
mind it has been designed to be used on tablets which is the platform
that millennials use most (smartphones are right up there, too, but MS
hasn't been successful in the phone market, although its phones have
actually gotten good OS reviews).
